The Current is an immersive performance in which dance, live percussion and electronic music fuse together. In a spatial installation, both audience and performers move through a pulsing landscape. Inspired by rave culture, the performance explores collectivity, freedom and the question: do we move along with the current, or do we resist?
Club culture
The performance brings the physical and cultural codes of club culture to the stage, approaching raving as embodied resistance and an expression of freedom. Within an electronic environment, the performers reconstruct a night in which segregation, pain and trauma are left on the dance floor, moving toward transcendence, liberation and shared release.
Live music and immersive set
NITE actor and singer Sarah Janneh performs texts written by South African writer Ronelda S. Kampfer. Live percussion and electronic music by Dutch producer Max Frimout and Ukrainian rising star Stanislav Tolkachev shape a shared physical landscape. In an immersive installation by Boris Acket, the audience moves through a dynamic labyrinth of spaces where dancers, musicians and the public come together. This creates an experience in which individuality and collective movement are continually in tension with eachother.
