Pain Creature is an interactive dance performance that explores the communication of bodily discomforts and the dynamics of witnessing others' pain. The dancer's chronic pain is represented by an interactive costume called the soma extension - a Pain Creature. Pain Creature is an unwanted presence, a parasite living on the dancer's skin that responds to touch with abstract sonic utterances. The performance unfolds as a dialogue between the dancer and the creature, accompanied by a texture of evolving electronic sounds.
There will be two performances of Pain Creature:
- on Friday (04/10), at 19:00
on Saturday (05/10), at 18:00The performance was cancelled due to health reasons and replaced by a solo performance by Vincenzo Madaghiele, at the same time.
