El suspiro de un mortal, nalgas hechas de pixel!
A mortal’s sigh, buttocks made of pixel!
PERREANDO HARDCORE invites the audience to deal with their hidden emotions, as boosted by social media, and offers a space for self-reflection in a world which stigmatises vulnerability. Dancers are being projected into a virtual environment via motion tracking – wherein real-time movements merge with gothic visuals and melancholy sound worlds. Traumacore, a Tik Tok aesthetic melding hypermelancholy imagery with the raw aspects of trauma, lies at the centre of the piece. Through the remix of dance, motion tracking and virtual images, a surreal, bittersweet tragedy unfolds in which the unsettling and the comforting exist alongside each other.
The choreography embodies vulnerability, fragmentation and resilience through its use of movements that contrast softness with sharpness and glitches. With its interweaving of dance, gaming and goth aesthetics, it challenges societal norms and reflects on identity. The fragmented choreography mirrors dissociation and transforms the stage into a space for catharsis and connection.
The influences reach from Southern gothic to cyborg horror and invoke eery figures – conjoined synchronising twins, larvae that turn into monstrous butterflies, cyborgs trapped between beauty and terror. The soundscape has been produced in a digital-automatic manner (Autotune) and blends compressed elements of nu metal, reggaeton and shoegaze. This combines to create an unsettling and yet sensual atmosphere.
This interdisciplinary project is a collaboration between dancers, game developers and designers who connect motion tracking and gaming to create an immersive experience that redefines dance and non-linear narrative.
