Falter magazine listed Simon Mayer\u2019s solo performance SunBengSitting in its end-of-the-year review as one of the top theatre productions of 2014, describing it as an \u201cingenious, nakedly yodelling interplay of folk and contemporary dance\u201d. In Mayer\u2019s group performance Sons of Sissy the focus is on that universe of traditions, folk dances and folk music from which the Upper Austrian country lad Simon Mayer originates.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an experimental manner, four performers and musicians make use of traditional alpine live music, various group dances and ritualised practices. Liberating them from conservativism and conventions, they establish an unseen fusion of artistic reinterpretations and temporary social attributions of meaning.\nDefying categorisation and pigeonholing, the Sons of Sissy do everything they can to live up to their name as they conduct themselves as part weird folk-music quartet, part experimentally playful ritual dance combo, using humour to radically disrupt the hackneyed male role models in old traditions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
