Powerplant is an artistic duo comprised of Krista Burger and Nina Thibo. They give socially critic performances in reaction to the western consumer society of nowadays. In these performances they use waste, like packaging materials made of Styrofoam and plastic as building materials for their miniature movie sets. With these performances Powerplants presents us possible scenarios for the near future.

















During the BUT Film Festival Powerplant will present us the live-cinema show “Outlet Land”. This show consists of a desolate miniature world in which we find a maze of Outlet Stores. The last persons present wander about and get lost in the abandoned stores like Carpet Land and Kitchen World.
Powerplant take us through the labyrinth of “Outland Land”. We follow the characters as each of them searches for the Exit of the labyrinth in their own ways. In the meanwhile are we introduced to the marketing strategies from the so-called Berlusconi Clan. To make it even more fantastic we are confronted with a resurrected Michael Jackson and Monica Lewinsky, who try to make their comeback in “Outlet Land”.
Powerplant’s movie set of “Outlet Land” will be filmed and projected live during the show so the viewers can watch, empathize, live and wander along with the characters from “Outlet Land”.
