Mirrors Backbone
Mirrors shows the chaos caused by the amount of digital information that people receive daily. We take our online mores with us to the non-digital world. But what happens when we see and touch each other face-to-face again? What is it like when the distance that the digital world creates between us becomes smaller and we need each other again? Please note: the end time mentioned is an indication.
Mirrors Backbone
Donna Chittick
“At one point I noticed how insecure I became with social media. Am I working hard enough? Am I lagging behind my peers? Both in the evening and in the morning I would almost obsessively read the comments under posts. This became a fixed ritual. Not only mentally, but also physically it started to take its toll. I had to step out, unfollow, unplug. By detaching myself from it I got breath and peace again. I found my balance again. The concept for Mirrors emerged from this experience .”
In the hip-hop dance performance Mirrors you see 4 dancers, who dance with the physical burden of too much digital information. Who has the right to hide? Who takes the right to share and who judges whom?
A struggle between participating in the virtual world and at the same time losing contact with others and yourself.
