THE MULTIPLICITY OF THE OTHER
(Work in progress - Research) *PREMIERE ON THE 30th NOVEMBER 2023, Berlin Germany

All pictures of research presentation: Tito Casal

THE MULTIPLICITY OF THE OTHER IS A MULTI-DISCIPLINARY SOLO DANCE PERFORMANCE, MIXING MOVEMENT, SOUND, SCULPTURES, LIGHTS AND AR (AUGMENTED REALITY), TO OFFER THE AUDIENCE AN IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE. THE MULTIPLICITY OF THE OTHER EXPLORES A BODY IN A CONSTANT FLUX. AN ATTEMPT TO EMBODY THE MULTIPLICITY WITHIN, REFLECTING UPON AND QUESTIONING THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE OTHER AND SELF. INSIDE A MULTI- SENSUOUS SPACE THE BODY SHIFTS BETWEEN AMBIGUITY AND CLARITY: A POLITICAL BODY IN THE SEARCH FOR TRANSFORMATION, ALLOWING VULNERABILITY IN THE SEEK OF ESCAPING DEFINITIONS, DEFYING IDENTITY EXPECTATIONS, AN ENDEAVOR TO CHALLENGE THE STATUS QUO. BY PROVOKING A CONTEMPLATIVE SPACE YOUR JUDGMENT GETS ACTIVATED, AND YOUR OWN GAZE IS THROWN BACK AT YOU: BECOMING AN OBSERVER OF YOURSELF. WHAT ARE THE IDENTITY POSITIONS YOU OCCUPY WHILE DOING THAT? INSIDE THIS SELF(MIRRORED) OBSERVATION YOUR SENSE OF SELF BECOMES INSPECTED, QUESTIONED AND MULTIPLIED.
