A performance at the intersection of virtual and physical reality mediates a perceptual laboratory in which the boundaries between the real and virtual worlds are questioned in an attempt to reflect on what everyday lived reality actually means.

In our daily life, technology enables us to exist simultaneously in multiple places. We are immersed in a continuous negotiation with things, processes, and people that are not physically present. We commonly identify them as a “virtual presence”, as a sort of representation of an original that exists somewhere else. We place this “copy” at a lower level in the scale of reality as it cannot fully affect us. It cannot be touched and therefore cannot be considered truly real.

For some, the virtual world is a place to momentarily escape reality; others fear that it will replace it completely. For us, there is no conflict between the virtual and real worlds, together they create a continuum of mixed realities.

Unfolding the inner space outwards, and the outer space inside is a strategy to unwrap the various layers of reality. The performance is proposing a perceptual laboratory in which the audience members have the space to formulate their questions regarding their position towards reality and reflect on the existential and philosophical dimensions of being present.

The performance is designed for two audiences, is in English and lasts 60 minutes. (The performance will take place in artist's flat, you will receive information about the venue by email after purchasing your ticket).
