Alive Show

50 min.

During these past couple of years, we are all at a physical and emotional state that we imagine to be similar- social distancing, existential fear and new experiences in the virtual sphere. This primal unification is leading me to address the animal that we are, our uniqueness as a species and the act of art creation within that. What is the nature of art, where does it exist and what is essential, important or fundamental within it. The decay of the freedom of speech and our ability for movement is setting in motion a biological extinction process of art.

In Alive Show, Art, Just as any unique and beautiful organism in nature is struggling to survive, migrating and changing like an endangered species, searching for a place to be.

Metal

45 min.

Four dancers create figure hybrids of the animalistic and the cultured. The piece takes inspiration from this current era of world plague that bends, isolates and encapsulates the body. The dancers cover themselves with sleeping bags, tents and other fabrics taken from the world of wilderness survival, thus invoking new creatures that exist in a domain somewhere between opera, growl and cough.
