SMAAKMAKERS – a taste of ANALOG DIGITAL

During Smaakmakers initiated by Theater Ins Blau (Leiden, NL) makers share with the public a taste of their upcoming perfromances.
In this edition K&A take you with them into the universe of:

ANALOG <-> DIGITA is a movement theater performance dedicated to a disequilibrating contemporary world. Analogue sounds compete with digital ones, books burn and e-readers rise, vinyls are the new dancefloor and polaroids our only archive.
In a scenography between pixels and objects arises a temporal space where micromovements appear: fingers precisely initiating the ongoing dance of a spinning top or the blink of an eye caught in an extravagant selfie.
ANALOG <-> DIGITAL invites you to oscillate in between contradictory cravings: waiting for a handwritten letter, detesting technology, falling in love with a screen (maybe even a robot?), breaking your phone, crying for a book, stealing a spinning top, scratching a vinyl, getting addicted to chatGPT .

Teasing our obedience to a digital environment and the glorification of the screen, K&A invites the audience on a delirious trip, that ends with a blink.
