The artists of the collective developed solo work, duets and group pieces together but they never aimed for a single, unified style of movement or sound. Each member focused on their own gestures, with the goal of bringing them together into a form that was specific to the group; messy, multilayered and spectacular.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCreating one-off events between 1981 and 1989, their shows toured across France,Spain, Italy, Germany, Austria, Denmark and Brazil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e‘The Lolita Years’ offers a fascinating window into the collective’s artful world of exuberant disorder by spotlighting the fluid, uncanny soundworld of Pray-Pax, a pivotal element in the unique happenings of The Lolita.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n[[Selling Points]]\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZel Zele are unearthing never before released soundtracks Lolita Danse’s shows during the 80's, cross genres pieces ranging from experimental, theatrical, edgy punky yet sensual and sophisticated soundtracks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLP comes with poster and extensive liner notes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleases together with the book about the Lolita collective, put together by Mestiza Estudio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArchives extends to and across art, music, choreography, photography, drawings and set design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n[[Catalog Number]]ZEL12[[Artist]]Pray-Pax","brand":"Zel Zele","offers":[{"title":"The Lolita Years \/ Album \/ LP Black","offer_id":48502874505461,"sku":"ZEL12","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0080\/6417\/2096\/files\/5050580844643.jpg?v=1785797445","url":"https:\/\/lightintheattic.net\/products\/the-lolita-years","provider":"Light in the Attic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
