disConnect
2019 | Art, Performance
Description
A co-participatory interactive performance exploring the effects and impact of self-inflicted and forced disconnection from the world, symbolizing the self-defeating result of isolation in a globalized world.
Concept
The lifeblood of the connections with people around us is symbolised by red strings connecting the audience with the performer. The more connections we have, the stronger everybody stands. Every broken connection cause suffering and makes us weaker, regardless of who or how the connection is broken. As the audience, as well as the performer, breaks connection after connection, the performer increasingly suffers and in the end, collapses.
Background
There are at least 10,000 Danish political refugees who have been forced to flee to other European countries. Every week another ten or more Danish citizen lose the right to family life in their own country because their spouse comes from a wrong country.
