TEST 1 (20 min)
Performed by Rosie Stebbing and Jessie Thompson.
What if you came face-to-face with your avatar? How much of your physical self are you willing to give to its virtual counterpart? And as life moves ever further into the digital realm, are you willing to confront the space between your real self and the projections of a fantasy?
Two dancers grapple with these questions, confronting an uncomfortable reality. This duet is a physically poetic exploration of the complicated relationships we all have with our avatars.
Nabinam (30 min)
Choreography and performance by Tewnty 23 artist Jean-Baptiste Baele.
Nabinam is an auto-biographical work in which Jean-Baptiste talks about his adoption story. Adopted from Madagascar, he has encountered many different challenges: growing up with older peers due to age discrepancies on his documents, being constantly compared to his family because of skin colour differences and a hidden bond with a twin he never had the opportunity to grow up with.
Nabinam takes the audience on a roller coaster of emotions in its unpredictable change of pace.
Jean-Baptiste Baele is an Aerowaves Twenty23 artist. Aerowaves is a platform funded by the Creative Europe programme of the European Union.
Warning: possibility of flashing lights.
