OBSOLESCENCE

Interdisciplinary Show, 60 min

In this performance, planned obsolescence is explored through the body and its loss of value within a society obsessed with performance and renewal. Three dancers of different ages share the stage, and their bodies tell the story of the inevitable transformation and the potential for memory in movement. Together, their movements weave a fragmented narrative where the intimate meets the collective, and where beauty arises from the tension between what fades, what remains, and what is transmitted.

The scenography consists of an audiovisual environment that reacts to movement: each gesture resonates with a world punctuated by cycles, flows, and continuous updates. Technology becomes a playmate, a mirror, a counterpoint, revealing the invisible connections between humans and machines. This is a profoundly human story: the infinite capacity of living beings to reinvent themselves—and to adapt to what they create.
