Biographies have exhausted themselves. We must move on. Escape the political thicket of identity in order to soar to a different dimension, where I am – everybody. The piece “At Night I Am Everybody” is performed by a cast of diverse identities (in age, gender, ethincity, et cetera), in tribute to that which is shared by and connects everybody. Along with the act of dancing, we will seek to connect and discover deeper shared dimensions than those apparent on the outside. The piece asks what is a shared movement? How can all those present in the room feel and sense together, without adjusting and looking the same as each other? How can we let go of the narrative of a private history as one that frames subjective identity, and aim towards a collective abstract dimension in which I am everybody?

Elements
In times like these, it seems that the only thing left for us to do is to believe. Believe in the possibility of a better future, and in our power to bring it about. Elements – a selection of performances – will seek to enable art to evoke the beliefs that lie within us, the hope that has been forgotten, and to remind us that the power to survive or to make a change is hidden inside of us. We aim to awaken the desire for connection, for cooperation, for a more beneficial relationship with the environment, and for the power of art to tie all of these together.
With the Elements selection you can visit contemporary art galleries throughout the city and experience dance pieces, performance art, experimental music, choir concerts and more. All of these will combine into a diverse, multifaceted and multi-recipient prayer, which believes in different forms of action that are based on the aspiration for goodness and shared existence.
