Dancing on Ashes Hardcore Kunst Kabarett is a spin-off of Angel Meat, originating in the fictional cabaret Dancing on Ashes introduced in the different narrative threads of the project. 

It acquired its proper existence in February 2011 as a real alternative cabaret show on the stage of Schwelle 7, with the participation and support of choreographer Felix Ruckert.

Angel Meat is a long-term transmedia project by Ines Birkhan and Bertram Dhellemmes.

Angel Meat is based on a feedback between artistic research and rock subculture, and a complex 
dialogue between different medias and creative fields, such as literature, dance, music, video, visual 
arts and new medias. 

Art being for one century necessarily busy with defining itself in its successive modern / postmodern / 
hypermodern manifestations, pop culture has been left dealing with big issues such as death, power, 
sexuality, love or metaphysic – creating thus today's formless mythology. A multimedia work in progress, 
Angel Meat opens up this mythical universe with the strategies of antiformal experimental performance 
art, dysnarrative and hypertextual literature, and any relevant creative device. 

Angel Meat tells stories of nowadays, though sometimes rooted in archaic and tragic forms of literature or theatre, and stories as old as mankind, but that can now spread at light speed around the world with the help of new medias and technologies. It tells stories to be read in books or on the Internet, on stage 
or on flyers, stickers or graffiti in hip bars toilets, to be heard in theatres, pop songs or rumors, to be seen 
on videos, films and fanzines… 

Angel Meat’s several narrative threads manifest themselves through performances,  posters, video installations and website – in which narrative printed text is central. One of its main medium is currently Dancing on Ashes, a performance series of 'staged literature' – an innovative art form mixing live dance and music with projected narrative texts, proposing thus a unique experience of reading in a constrained and extremely emotional performance situation, as a collective and cathartic experience. 

It is the narrative backbone on the Angel Meat transmedia project, and most of its characters 
and situations have been unveiled during these performances, and the fictional background is Dancing 
on Ashes, an eponymous fictional art-cabaret show, whose main characters are also the performers of 
the series...
