Presentation

Amid a chaotic and constantly decelerating stage apparatus that plays with the conventions of entertainment, three (or four) performers forge a path towards their own emancipation and celebrate the imperceptible glitter of existence. Through sleight of hand, pop songs, a tap solo, feats of physical prowess, and dance, they share their reflections on the power of beliefs and manipulation while attempting to unfurl an ode to degrowth that is in dissonance with the complex, over-informed, ultra-fast, profuse, capitalist, and demanding world in which we live.
