How far away are we? Where is this space? How do we get there? How far away are we? Where is this space? How do we get there? Why do we desperately want to find a way to measure and to quantify distance?
Do you like me? When will I see you again? What is the place that I call home? Wearing non-identical skins at different times, looking for a new way to co-exist.
To exist, are we constantly in a state of flux?
FLUX is an interactive and performative role-play dealing with different aspects of distance and space. The performers create together with the audience a safe space, where questions of belonging are dealt with. Where do I personally belong to? What do the terms home and family stand for? How to understand these concepts and how can we rethink this rigid structures? Each performer has its own character and assigned role, which guides the visitor through the club-like atmosphere. Meanwhile, the whole piece is filmed by a «stranger» who brings in the theme of the «exotic gaze» through filming with a smart phone.
