SINGLE BILL: Gig by Pamela Moraga
SINGLE BILL:
Gig
by Pamela Moraga
Gig offers an intimate insight into the precarious reality of freelance dance artists in Berlin and beyond. The solo examines the demands of the gig economy, where artists must constantly shift roles, adapt, and sustain their practice with limited support. Set against a post-pandemic backdrop of rising costs and shrinking cultural funding, the work blends dance, spoken text, and direct address. The piece becomes a statement of resilience, reflecting the do-it-yourself conditions of independent art-making. Drawing from her perspective as a migrant artist, Pamela Moraga navigates labor, exhaustion, and identity with both vulnerability and wit. Gig doesn’t only critique; it survives, performs, and speaks back.
