Premiere
The performance takes place as a double bill with Lurker by Hanako Hayakawa. The performances will be shown one after the other, with a break of 30 minutes. When you buy your ticket, you will receive a combined ticket with which you can attend both performances.
Daybreak addresses the tension between tracelessness and surveillance through the figure of the vagabond. The vagabond represents the freedom to exist in anonymity and can foster liberty from the commodification of the social – our connections, relationships and friendships – and turning it into valuable data.
In this work, which takes place in a live soundscape composed and performed by Lynn Suemitsu, the vagabond (Shade Théret) does not accept her place in the world’s power structure. She chooses to live outside of anything that might follow her and make her traceable. Therefore she lives literally outside – on a cold beach, within an empty construction site, in a wintered-over garden. Upon meeting someone new, she never asks for anything, never apologizes, and never says thank you. She demands, she takes what she wants, and she walks away.
The information on accessibility is still in progress and will be updated as soon as possible.
