UPROAR

UPROAR is an immersive performance which summons the highly relevant figure of the Chimera as an expressive embodiment, expanding the horizon of what it means to be plural. With numerous responsibilities, fantasies and realities all at once, antiquitie’s Chimeric figure – part lion, part goat, part snake – celebrates the value and gathering of three or more.
Together with their collaborators, Simone Aughterlony and Michael Günzburger take pleasure in the erotics and recognition of distinct parts alongside the irrefutable combination of complex organisms.

Sound propagation materials shaped into impressive architectural structures form an enclosure for the imagination of a creature to come. Taken apart, the movement of these ‘wall figures’ transition from an enclosure to an expanded and flexible space. In this sense, a process of dismantling what was previously an enclosure gives permission for any number of spatial chimeric proposals or mirage-like sightings to take shape. The question of positionality and perspective is renegotiated as the performers navigate feelings of bewilderment and awe. UPROAR is the turmoil. The impossible is not opposed to the real, the impossible composes with the real and promises a trans*futurism of the wildly imaginative.
