DESCRIPTION
Aftertaste is a science fiction performance and video installation in which the body becomes unformed, unorganized, disjointed, made up of infinite particles of information creating an impression of a constant coming back. It may be the map of madness, a performance with no beginning and no ending where the body constantly returns to zero and beyond zero. The information travels with multiple speeds, forward and backward, through the bodies and the sound machines. In order to see the world we may have to stop the world.
CONCEPT
Two dancers are asked to completely depersonalize, to work with dissociation of meaning, to create a different reality governed by random rules. A third performer creates a different virtual space using the video camera, a wireless transmitter and a projection area.The soundtrack is created live using sound machines as looping and sampling stations. The project is designed both for stage and non-conventional venues (museum, industrial, commercial, street), being very easy to install.
