"for they have even taken of the accursed thing, and have also stolen, and dissembled also, and they have put it even among their own stuff." Joshua 7:11

The Loose Collective has recently attracted attention as a result of the unconventionality and freshness of their productions and their enthusiastic performance-style. In their latest work, the Austria-based international group of dancers, choreographers and musicians dedicate themselves to the texts of the Old Testament.

Using contemporary performance methods – from cut-up techniques and chorus scenes to beatboxing and diaspora post punk – they propose a physical and musical montage of elements of this enormous body of text, which today is still an expression of creativity and utopia, of human ambition and frustration.
