Combining contemporary dance, performance and technologies, an immersive experience is proposed in a light-sound installation.
After a successful presentation at the GAM (2022), which was renewed on June 8 of this year in the Season
Relámpago de Valdivia, the Pseudónimo Contemporary Art Company will continue a tour of Immersive Catharsis through various cities in the country.
This, at the Teatro Parque Cultural de Valparaíso (Cárcel 471), with performances at 7 p.m. on Friday, June 21 and Saturday, June 22. The first of them will include a discussion. In addition, a guided tour of the spectacular technological and scenographic structure in which the work is performed is contemplated, at 4 p.m. on Friday the 21st. Access is free for those over 16 years of age and, due to the use of flashing lights, it is not It is recommended that people with photosensitive epilepsy attend.
Immersive Catharsis proposes the result of the symbiosis between a corporal-performatic investigation that is articulated around the concept “catharsis”, and the immersive experience of the public in a light-sound installation. The montage invites the viewer to experience the proximity and vitality of the bodies surrendered to the ecstasy of dance; an ecstasy that is understood as the pleasure of displaying the powers of each subjectivity, but also as an action that resists the temptation to become paralyzed in the face of the permanent state of alarm and the spread of terror as an instrument of control.
Starting from the concept “catharsis”, the work raises a language that mixes contemporary dance, performance and the use of technologies on the scene, inviting the viewer to place themselves in a circular light-sound installation that turns them into an observed witness of the stage event.
In parallel, the company Pseudónimo invites the public to a sensory tour of the installation
light-sound designed for Immersive Catharsis. In a rotating 15-minute session, attendees will be able to discover and inhabit the interior of a circular space arranged for a dance of lights, shadows and sounds.
Conceived to provoke an immersive experience in an immersive aesthetic universe, the installation uses light and sound to weave a sensitive dialogue where intensity, rhythm, backlighting, counterpoint and synchronicity emerge as inseparable parts of the same design.
The proposal will continue its tour in Valparaíso and then reach Coquimbo and Puerto Montt, and culminate with a retrospective at Matucana 100, in Santiago, in April of next year. The co-directors of Immersive Catharsisa, Gabriel Miranda and Ninoska Soto declare in writing that the national circulation they will carry out “will be a valuable experience that will be shared with students, young people and adults.”
