"DACM is a collaboration between the musician Peter Rehberg / Pita, and the singer Tujiko Noriko, whose songs bring softness and melody, and punctuate Stéréotypie with moments of solace . Stéréotypie is a choreographic and theatrical proposal which presents a world where setting and human bodies can belong to the same visual intention. This is a place where fiction permeates reality through the fantasy of perfection; where the friction between perfection and imperfection seems more attractive than ever. As the body, seen as a draft, is made to strive towards perfection -- the perfection of a dreamed body. This ideal, as a conglomeration of homemade fantasies, seems to unveil the limitations and the obsolescence of making a fantasy of physical and mechanical perfection come true, and also uncovers all the excitement attached to this fantasy, by fulfilling obsessions about norms and evenness together with a certain imperfection."

"Showroom Dummies is the latest production from Grenoble based dance company Groupe DACM, which has been received to critical acclaim from dance theatre audiences across France and beyond. In keeping with the radical nature of their works, Peter Rehberg (Pita) was enlisted to provide an electronic soundtrack for this work. It was stated by DACM that the intention of Showroom Dummies was 'to achieve a deliberately hybrid choreography, hence the use of different artistic disciplines such as contemporary dance, the fine arts, theatre, puppets and electronic music, all brought together over a project which opposes body movement and dummies'. Given this and the themes covered being: 'repulsion and erotism relative to appearance and stillness' and 'how one could possibly slide from submission into passive resistance'. The choice of Rehberg was a good one. For those used to the shock and tremble static bursts of Pita's 'Get Out' or even the banging contorted monster ambience of 'Get Down', one may be in for a surprise. This release offers a new perspective to Pita's world. One of more subtle twists and unnerving dynamics. This otherworldly sound world is shaped less on sine-wave bending and more on a development of deep unusual ambience, pulses, fog and static. A ghostly digital aura evoking the open and the empty simultaneously. An existential chilled out recording for the colder moments of the human sphere. Unsettling and engaging -- here lies a fine addition to the abstract canon. A slippery relation to human 'reality' via suggestive repetitive repulsion and glacial construction."
