Parties x2

A re-imagination of the past work “Parties” which revisits the same narrative, and general themes. An emphasis on each personality’s extremities, creating an alternative soundscape to accompany these changes and augmenting the power behind each interpreter’s personas to increase greater risk and consequence behind their actions.

‘Parties’ is a duet between two interpreters that transforms into an unceasing struggle of self-sabotage that propels the viewer into a psychedelic dreamlike reality. The movement is accompanied by a soundscape that further encompasses the viewer into a dazed, repetitive, echo of celebration, gathering, and intoxication. The performer’s each translate a version of the same self, one of sound mind whose anxieties create an eternal battle of shame and unfulfillment. The other is a self-sabotaging individual whose desire slowly overcomes that of the sound mind. Though the piece is performed by two individuals they highlight the internal struggle we as a collective often holds deep within ourselves.
