Be My Superstar
Eén glazen doos. Groot.
People in an open space. Dancing.
The background: galvanizing beats.
Geen podium, geen stoelen, ...
Awkward inconvenience?
De alomtegenwoordigheid van sociale media, zowel in tijd als in ruimte, maken ontsnappen zo goed als onmogelijk. Lacroix en Voseček vertalen alledaagse pesterijen in woord, beeld en muziek en confronteren ons zo met de banaliteit van het geweld waartoe we allen in staat zijn.
Where does violence originate? Where does it feed? Where does it emerge ? How long do we keep on watching or enduring before taking action? Spectator and performer, bully and victim, all seem interchangeable in a powerful, physical show that leaves traces.
