Single Tiger

With and by: Amanda Apetrea

Single Tiger was originally made in 2009 at Stockholm university of the arts as a part of the master education in choreography. The rules for the solo were: costumes should fit in a plastic bag, it needs to be longer than 37 minutes or shorter than 5 minutes, no touching the walls.

Single Tigers are thought to be nocturnal predators, performing at night. However, in areas where audience are absent, they have been observed via remote controlled, hidden cameras performing during the daylight hours. They generally perform alone and ambush their audience as most other cats do, overpowering them from any angle, using their body size and strength to knock large audience members off balance. Even with their great masses, single tigers can reach speeds of about 49–65 kilometres per hour (35–40 miles per hour), although they can only do so in short bursts, since they have relatively little stamina; consequently, single tigers must be relatively close to their audience before they break their cover. Single tigers have great leaping ability; horizontal leaps of up to 10 metres have been reported, although leaps of around half this amount are more typical. However, only one in twenty performances ends in a successful kill.
