ANALOG DIGITAL

ANALOG <-> DIGITAL s 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.

Inspired by ancient and contemporary games, sweetly accompanied by a tendency to escapism, the performers question/teases/underlines our relation with digital and analogue objects. 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.
