__plex – A dance performance in the wake of pop culture
Inspired by John Oswald's Plexure (1993), the solo transforms sound fragments into virtuoso movement and questions the fast pace and sensory overload of our time. Between recognition and overload, a visual thunderstorm of sound is created that explores the limits of our perception. In this sharing, choreographer Alma Toaspern and dancer Lúa Mayenco share their two-week rehearsal status and invite feedback and exchange.
