A glitch in the casual, overwhelming flow of virtual content that we are confronted with daily brings to life four alienated and dysfunctional characters, detached from their bodies and each other, moving and screaming in an empty space.
Through humor and terror, DISTANT CASUALS creates an immersive experience, exploring the psychosomatic expressions of the interaction between individuals and mass media. The piece captures and communicates the complexity of the internal and external experiences of alienation bringing the audience into a sinister and uncomfortable yet familiar state. Fragile characters move in a frantic flow of gestures and movements creating a dance of dissonance, a dance of disorder that represents the inability of individuals to communicate with each other.Playing with the glitches of the algorithm, DISTANT CASUALS portrays the absurdity of the contradictory reality of our society, putting into question our acceptance of it.
