Can you experience war through TikTok dances on your phone? In this intimate, theatrical installation about watching and turning away from war, you certainly can.
In Dance Dance Revolution (‘Dans Dans Revolutie’), an immersive installation, you step into the fictional country of Besulia. War has broken out and the population's time-honoured tradition of dancing to ward off evil no longer seems to work. Young vlogger Anna reaches for her phone and urges the world: dance the svaboda samoverzhenja and help us! Through phones, a surround sound set and the mythological creature Notsjnik, you follow the story of Anna and baba Yara at an (increasingly less) safe distance. A magical tale at the heart of contemporary history, based on the second novel of the same name by Lisa Weeda, who for Dance Dance Revolution once again collaborated with interdisciplinary artist platform BrotherTill.
