The LIFT – a site specific ScreenStage performance

At these times, we are awakened, alert. We are aware of our physical encounters and our own states of being. Virtual & live spaces perceptually interact. Our very perceptions of being together and our ways of being present, are changing and being challenged. Nothing can be taken for granted. How we negotiate such changing perceptions in the coexistence of the virtual projected phenomena with the live presence in the present, is core to the experience of this performance. 

The LIFT is a ScreenStage performance, where the spectator travels in a public lift and surrounds with the performers: A man. A woman. A filmmaker. The spectator is a voyager and a voyeur in a time-space of a live performance extended by virtual spaces. Metaphorically speaking, a 'dreamer's point of view.' A private experience in a social context.
