AFK

in the context of Circusnachten Away From Keyboard, and yet never quite present Is the world a ‘glitch’? A bug in the system? And are we humans that too? Perhaps that is precisely what makes us more interesting. In AFK, Sofie Anny Nicea Velghe and Camille Paycha build a circus performance that misleads your senses and gently – or perhaps even pretty hard – shakes up your worldview. Through a choreography of visual deception, the performers embrace their multiple selves. They welcome wandering ghosts, refuse a single label and keep space open. They found inspiration in the Inheems Braziliaanse philosopher Ailton Krenak; he states that the world is dying not only from ecological collapse, but also from a lack of imagination; they also found ideas in cyberfeminism, in which technology is not only a subject, but the very means itself. Here you get circus as a political statement. Edgy and inspiring. Living circus. Long live the circus! (...) It is an enchanting effect, like a dream in which nothing has fixed contours or shapes anymore. (...) It may sound like a cheap trick, but thanks to the subtle interplay of light, sound, word and movement, it is anything but. As a viewer, you drown in that magical image. You quickly no longer know what you are seeing. You even lose all sense of time. You have to see it to believe it. - on pzazz.theater (Pieter T'Jonck) You can combine this performance (from the white column) in a package!
