Description
Moving Backwards. In an era of massive withdrawal, the exhibition explores the resistance practices that combine guerrilla techniques, postmodern choreography and urban dance, as well as elements of queer underground culture. In a large film installation, visitors are invited to enter a dense choreography generated by performers’ gestures, film loops, and animated objects. In the environment of an abstract nightclub, the sensory experience is complemented by a moment of reflection on these backlashes, with letters written to the audience by a dozen authors and published in a newspaper.
