Interview with the audience after epic performance

This is an interview with two imaginary audience members after an imaginary epic 4 hour performance that was experienced in 30 minutes.

Private Video to Mercedes

Video created through an exercise by Júlio with the prompt to record an action for another member of the collective, in my case, to Mercedes who often works with hands and Flamenco / Spanish culture, capturing multiple perspectives in an intimate teenager environment

Working Through Music and Song Sharing

Music became a key tool in building connection and trust across languages and backgrounds. Each participant was invited to share songs that had a special meaning too them. These shared sounds created an intimate exchange where identity and emotion could be expressed beyond words. Singing, listening, and moving to each other's music allowed us to enter each other's worlds gently, creating a collective rhythm that shaped the improvisations and deepened our sense of belonging. The playlist we created became both a memory of the week and a living archive of the voices, moods, and stories we carried together. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1Ra1yoYjuxFUbfGv4W1YV3?si=6b8df2d2606c4b27&nd=1&dlsi=b9e074436a9c4024

Unspoken Dances, Shared Worlds

We had the joy and privilege of creating a space where bodies, stories, and cultures could meet. Together with participants from Vesthimmerland Asylcenter, we shaped a shared playground. There was a quiet beauty in watching strangers become collaborators in witnessing how breath, rhythm, and small gestures turned into conversations beyond language. The studio became alive: filled with drawings, writings, and reflections that slowly wove us into a temporary community.

A Collective Exploration of Friction and Fragmenta

Some notes on the process of exploring individual urgencies, fragmentation, and shared meaning-making. Through cutting up language, mapping concepts, and connecting fragments with string, the group worked with friction and tension to generate new subjects. The process culminated in a participatory installation activating the research as an open, living space.

Cut-Up Subjects

We approached our themes as unstable narratives, not fixed stories but fragments of language, concepts, and embodied urgencies. Through a process of cutting up words and disassembling language, we disrupted linear meaning-making, breaking open the materials into smaller units of sense and sensation. Each word became a loose fragment, carrying multiple potentialities. With strings, we physically connected these fragments on the floor — not by logical associations, but by following friction, tension, and resistance. The stringing process exposed unexpected relationships, where words clashed, echoed, or destabilized each other. Rather than seeking coherence, we embraced contradiction and dissonance, allowing new configurations to emerge organically. In these points of tension, new subjects surfaced, not as stable topics but as dynamic activation tools for further exploration. The act of cutting and connecting became a method for composing meaning through movement, touch, and relationality.

PHAUNA: Audience Reflection on Space

Collective members enact a fictional interview as audience members, reflecting on the spatial apparatus of a performance. The imagined experience begins before entering the main stage, as spectators pass through a transitional corridor, where shifting lights and textures begin to activate the senses and open the audience towards the work. Upon entering the performance space, the audience is seated in a soft circular formation that can expand or contract, allowing fluid proximity between performers and witnesses. The spatial apparatus creates a porous boundary where the audience becomes part of the living scenography made of huge projections, and trash installations. A central element in the performance is the live interplay between performers and light, with the light designer present on stage as an active performer. Light becomes a co-creator of space, atmosphere, and relational dynamics, continuously shaping the spectators' sense-making, intimacy, and engagement. In the interview, the fictional audience members reflect on their affective and sensory experience, the feeling of being hosted, and the speculative relations generated between bodies, material, and light.
