A.C.I.D is immersive dance theater. A performance, adapted to different sites and rooms, where the audience are part of the performer’s reality. In traditional theater, an invisible barrier called the fourth wall exists to separate the performers from the public. As the audience is led through a building’s different spaces, this fourth wall is blurred — along with the boundary between reality and fiction.

A.C.I.D is based and inspired by a philosophical concept used by existentialist philosophers Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir to describe the phenomenon where human beings under pressure from social forces adopt false values and disown their innate freedom and act without authenticity.

A significant feature in my work is the tendency to dedicate all projects to a type of social experiment, integrating the audience as part of the performance.

The project is an implementation and result of the Artistic Residency at EHBK/ OT301 Amsterdam, February - June 2017
