Description
-
The dengue fever hallucinations of a Dominican artist serve as a catalyst to question and push the boundaries of their body and virtual reality, while the Doomsday Clock ticks closer to midnight.
Devised between islands Chiloé, Dominican Republic, and London, this play is based on a collection of poems by Dominican actor/artist Víctor Arcturus Estrella, and directed online by Chilean director Francisco Noulibos. It was inspired by Víctor's own severe dengue infection more than a decade ago. This show explores what it means to own or not a body on the brink of a virtual phase of late-stage capitalism.
The play whimsically explores the body in relation to the end of the world, identity, mortality, capitalist-realist-virtuality, and our place in the universe. It blends physical theatre, poetry, performance art, and audience participation with high doses of irony and vulnerability, while transiting across English, Spanish, and visual languages.
