Mr. Berger Dances with Tony Little, video performance with found footage, 00:05:11, 2019


statement

Mr. Berger Dances with Tony Little is a collaborative performance with Mr. Berger and Tony Little, an 80’s aerobic’s instructor. Tony Little is loud, commanding, and exaggerated. Mr. Berger taps in quiet playfulness and often disappears into the background in his dark suit. Past forms of masculinity are at play here, from the 40’s to the 80’s. The dance is a battle strictly because Tony Little demands victory over contentment. Mr. Berger is content.
