News! // Movement Expo Aceleratio Livestreams from the NDSM Fuse!

Dance & theater collective Movementalist presents in collaboration with Plein Theater the Movement Expo Aceleratio livestreams from the NDSM Fuse from May 27 (première) to May 30!
 

Aceleratio

The art of slowing down in times of a pandemic.

Aceleratio is an interdisciplinary performance installation that aims to confront the online audience with conflict, freedom, courage and consolation, arose from the need to embody this era. Artistic leaders Dayna Martinez Morales & Vincent Verburg are the initiators of Aceleratio Movement Expo.

Ten experienced and very different performers in dance, theater, music, visual art and spoken word engage in a physical and mental process to understand on a deeper level how feelings and thoughts manifest themselves in our body during COVID-19. Inspired by the effects of the pandemic: Acceleration of thoughts, emotions that seem more extreme and the art of slowing down.

From different perceptions, the audience becomes a online part of intimate performances, each in its own poetic space. For one a search for freedom or connection, for another a confrontation with oneself or an ultimate surrender.
