Abstract
Void - A psychodrama is a choreography and network of three performers and differentiated theatrical components, all entangled and intertwined. It is a shared, absurd and playful effort for finding ways to express extreme inner experiences that overseed and go beyond the corporeal existence.
What would free us, make us laugh in the face of the impossible?
The performance is inspired by contemporary philosophical and post-humanistic thinking regarding the in-betweens, the event of coming and the absence of categories. A starting point for the work is the concept of ‘void’ (Elisabeth Grosz, 2017).
We will dive into a time that can no longer be managed and which will become event-like; a world that has just lost all human technology and tactics.
