BRAIN - company 2525 Ger
BRAIN is a cerebral speculative dance performance in which new scientific disciplines and moral questions are anticipated and negotiated.
How far do we want to open ourselves to the outside and reveal our inner being? We implant stolen thoughts, sensations and memories into ourselves and we live and savor them as if they were ours.
The body becomes a tool that carries out foreign commands. Appropriating other identities makes us different people and different bodies. Our movement patterns, our bodies and our vision become alien to us.
We are omnipresent. We no longer know who owns our own thought.
How much I is still in me?
Am I me or is it you who is in me and I in you?
The boundaries between body and mind are blurring.
BRAIN is also a place of cult. A place somewhere between the cortex, thalamus and hippocampus, in which the body detaches itself from its own self and looks for new points of reference. Through rituals of appropriation, far removed from the usual conventions and known physical structures, they form a collective body of understanding.
The dissolution of the ego as a means of understanding.
Where is collective networking going?
Maybe it leads to a utopia:
Do all networked people add up to a better person at the same time?
