WE’RE USED TO BEING DARKER
go plastic company
The site-specific performance “WE’RE USED TO BEING DARKER” invites you to take a look into a closed society.
10 women. 10 episodes. Off the rails. Spare. No matter how hard it lies, how far we fall, how far we drift: It rolls. Unstoppable.
A microcosm under deprivation of freedom. The expectation of (free) time. 10 approaches, 10 angles, one chance to hit them all. Strike.
What limitations do we seek for ourselves? What limits, what frees and what empowers us? The attraction for us lies in the transfer of the inner perception of limitation through an “outside”, in our current space of movement, which seems almost unlimited. It is possible for us to be at any time, almost everywhere. To be (simply) everything.
But is this really true? Which rules, sets of rules and systems do we impose on ourselves, which ones determine us, which ones do we determine ourselves. Can we always be who we want to be, always and everywhere? How free do we feel? How free are we really?
