The starting point for the performance is Jane Bennett's theory, as articulated in her book "Vibrant Matter," that matter is not merely passive but constitutes an active and influential force in our world. It engages with other living and non-living entities, thus possessing agency. The performers interact playfully with "matter," illustrating how a different kind of human-object relationship could look. The collective somebody*ies, navigating across borders in the tri-border region, incorporates all media in the performance "Buzzing Creatures." In their merging and fragmented actions, the collective dimension of bodies is brought to the forefront. The performance was developed for the annual festival "Art's Birthday," curated by Nicoletta Torcelli, held in 2023 under the theme "Vibrant Matter – Vibrant Bodies."
Performance Concept: Anna Byskov, Hannah Kindler
