DESCRIPTION
‘The Throw Zone’ is a sculptural performance piece that plays on the notion of a fused body. Two performers move as a singular entity and together caught in a free fall, create the illusion that gravity is momentarily suspended. Moving with a gradual progression, the performers find stillnesses in unexpected poses. Their conjoined structure is completed by peculiar details – a raised hand or a pointed finger – drawing forth images that are both absurd and casual, real-life propositions. Thrown, headfirst, into the immensity of possibilities, ‘The Throw Zone’ reflects on the expansiveness of our times and unleashes the imagination in a floating tableau vivant.
CONCEPT
The rapid development of technology and the internet has created a world full of opportunities and possibilities. However, with the plethora of options openly available to all also comes an indelible feeling of instability, insecurity and detachment. With the overload of information and the volatility of contemporary living, the millennial is challenged to constantly adapt and accept the rate of change. ‘The Throw Zone’ reflects on the pressures of our times and addresses the Zeitgeist of a generation lost in the immensity of possibilities.
