SURGE - Tamara Gvozdenovic&Kangding Ray
SURGE
Performed during the @b12.research.or.die festival in @dock_11_ Berlin.
.
Movement, sound and light by Tamara Gvozdenovic & Kangding Ray @kangding_ray
https://www.tamaragvozdenovic.com/

Revolving around the story of a near-death experience, SURGE explores the fragmented memories and the distorted perception of time in the context of an imaginary club.
SURGE is a split-second hallucination stretched over an hour-long choreographed dream.

Die Masse dessen, durch das alles begann, ist so
gross oder so klein wie die Masse dessen,
durch das alles Nichts wird
Unendlichkeit
Keine Raum-
Zeit
mehr
Vorwärts läuft auch rück-
wärts. Nichts hat einen Rand
Alles war und ist und wird sein. Oder?
Alles war und ist und wird sein. Oder?
Ein Stück – ein Versuch – über das, was bleibt.
Ein Stück – ein Versuch – über das, was jenseits ist.
Ein Stück – eine Idee, ein Wunsch
