IT'S THE END OF THE AMUSEMENT PHASE//research solo
2024
Choreographic Research Sharing in the framework of Onassis Air Open Days
In the aftermath of a technological and social revolution that never happened, “IT’S THE END OF THE AMUSEMENT PHASE” wants to think about the emotional history of the present. It is an attempt to stage a counter-epic narrative about the rush towards the sun and the freefall into the digital universe.
Through the continuum of a dance that never stops, even when it has exhausted its physical and emotional resources, the performer traces the history of amazement and disenchantment, of amusement and sadness that followed the satellization of everyday life.
The research for “IT’S THE END OF THE AMUSEMENT PHASE” was supported by Onassis AiR and Réseau Grand Luxe. Special thanks to TROIS C-L Luxembourg, CAMPUS Paulo Cunha e Silva (Porto), Grand Studio Brussels, and L’Abri Geneva.
