Celebration

The performance plays with a figure of a celebration host. It intertwines the formats of DJ-set, karaoke and literary readings, intertwined with choreographic gestures from the popular dance culture and collective gatherings. It explores the notion of the festive event, as represented in popular culture, official ceremonies and communal practices. Performance addresses the notions of rehearsal and repetition, using citations of songs’ lyrics, popular slogans, media and historical documents and focusing on the relation between the sublime, the affect and discipline, incorporated into the spectacle and celebration.
