Felix Ruckert wishes to combine the best elements of his previous experiments with unconventional spectator‑performer relationships in a new production: the intensity of HAUTNAH ‑one dancer for one performer‑, the social character of RING‑ interactive circle between performers and spectators‑, the subtlety of STILLEN ‑ installation of tied up bodies to be visited like an exhibition.

The result is a sensual, ritualistic encounter between dancers and performers that blurs the distinction between action and reaction. It presents an innocent, playful, sophisticated (and public) form of sexuality where the disturbance and provocation related to the theme will be present, in an innovative and intelligent form of entertainment.

deluxejoypilot is organized as a process that develops and culminates in permanent confrontation with the audience. Staged in a lounge of comfortable chairs and beds, it evolves in a complex and multi-layered fashion.

An audio space created by Christian Meyer, who already composed for SCHWARTZ and RING, confirms the warm, cosy and emotional aspect of the piece.
