Swelling muscles, nerve fibres, synapses and emotional registers. The eighth edition of Revolve performance art festival is a body mass in motion. These are baroque times, with unreasonable world leaders, wars and clashing worldviews. Our digital feed is saturated with the ungraspable physical suffering of the outside world, while hyper-realistic, simulated digital worlds seep into our pores.
Among this year’s performances there is an interplay between the surface of the skin and the underlying emotional register, between form and the sensuous. The body as fiction and reality is set against the political. What spaces for action and interpretation can be liberated in this encounter?
The festival is weaving together themes from the group exhibition Corpus Cosmos at the museum, where cosmological and spiritual ideas meet medicine with various historical reflections. Welcome to a festival where the flesh explains the world.
