LUCIDITY: performance Arnis Aleinikovas

You try going to a RAVE as a spectator and see what happens.

We invite you to visit Barbara and watch Arnis Aleinikovas’s performance “LUCIDITY”. The performative show is a summary of his month-long residency at the Wrocław Institute of Culture within the MagiC Carpets platform.

Premiere: Thursday 12 January at 6 pm | performance “LUCIDITY” | Barbara, Świdnicka Street 8b -> free entrance, neet to sign up -> [https://bit.ly/LUCIDITY_performens_zapisy].

The title lucidity means “the ability to think clearly,” which, according to the Cambridge Dictionary, is described as a momentary experience. Participants in the four December workshops led by Arnis Aleinikovas were able to explore this state through movement techniques including ecstatic movement, automatic writing and long meditative dance in a rave rhythm. The whole process played an extremely important role in the creation of the final performance ”LUCIDITY”, which combines all the methods of body work learned. Individual movements developed by workshop participants, as well as texts and visualizations, will be used in the final group show.

What can you expect at Thursday’s performancet? ↓ ↓ ↓

The aesthetics of meditative practices, techno and rave parties, will put us in an ecstatic state where the body surrenders to the rhythm and can move freely. Dance will also become one form of escape to a place on the borderline between dream and reality, a relaxed and tense body, darkness and light. The main stage at Barbara will become a dance floor with colorful and flashing lighting, artificial smoke and fluorescence.

Since the 1990s, electronic music parties have become a remedy for many generations, and ”LUCIDITY” breaks down sequences of repetitive movements, tempo changes, body micro-movements, and invites us to reflect on the role in times of technological acceleration, and what processes can be subjected to in the age of artificial intelligence development?
