For invited guest audience: I Wish I Was on Planet Earth

Maya Oliva

The performance is inspired by 80’s/90’s nostalgia and how specifically early cyberpunk imagined the future in which we live now. We revisited these aesthetics through our millennial eyes, wondering about modern technology, older monstrous machines and electronic waste.

I WISH I WAS ON PLANET EARTH fantasizes about in-between worlds, where movement happens and communicates through the materiality of light, sound, space and one human. Departing from the thought that vibration, frequency or electricity can dissolve boundaries of matter, we asked ourselves how are these mediums interacting? How deeply can they connect?

The piece negotiates ways of relation, generated by constant shifts of perception, qualities and intentions. It explores ways of transmitting to life on or beyond our planet, communicating with an unknown other.
