Lost in Cyberia Pro1.2
(2019)
SYNOPSIS
In Lost in Cyberia Pro1.2 the performer is hidden behind the screen. There is only the internet and an omniscient narrator of images, sometimes lost in the description of cities by night, sometimes struggling to cope with some online loneliness. By embodying a drone spirit, it proposes a virtual tour around the world with the visitors, trying to create a connection and a common shared experience that both the spectator and the 'absent' performer will never forget. This performance addresses geotechnology and territoriality as a way to enable memory flows and create intimacy, bringing the performer and the spectator closer.
