Powerplant creates 'instant movies' from scenes played
out in miniature. The 'live movie' that arises is projected directly on
large screens so every detail of the 'acetylene torch' burnt models can
be seen.
The multi media performance "In der bar um die Ecke" (In the
bar around the corner) portrays a highly mutated landscape in the year
2087 following World War VII. Only a handful of people survived the seventh
world war which while only lasting 2.34 seconds chemically transformed
the planet on such an immense scale it is impossible not to be impressed.
This was not a war that simply destroyed the earth this was a war that
smoothed and transformed the shapes of everything on it.
Among the few survivors are two ex-Power Rangers, the immortal and still
emotional damaged Michael Jackson, a mutated baby Ronnie and a tv addicted
robot goat. The ex-action heroes have been fired from the team due to
financial cutbacks in the superhero department. Unemployed and with no
superhero standards to aspire to anymore, they decide give in to their
true nature.
