The German choreographer Arco Renz settled in Brussels, initially to study at P.A.R.T.S. In 2000 he founded his Kobalt Works company. Since then he has been based in Brussels. He regularly goes on voyages of discovery to other parts of the world, mostly Asia, to start collaborative projects there. For ‘COKE’ he went to Manila. He set to work in a dance studio there with seven Filipino performers from diverse backgrounds: dancers, actors, a drag queen and a few members of the girl group ‘Sexbomb Girls’. This very sexy collective from Manila is the most successful Filipino pop act of all time.
‘COKE’ is about how everyday life in Manila is permeated with dance: on TV, in bars and clubs, on stage. There is dancing everywhere. Dance is the key element in a powerful entertainment industry that encourages the public to turn to escapism and consumption.
