RODEO

 
2018 Chica­go
per­formed at Chica­go Man­u­al Style
Dura­tion: approx­i­mate­ly 30 minutes 

A live work in 3 parts, car­ried out by 24 par­tic­i­pants and 1 drummer. 

Iván’s neon fence is the frame­work and premise for a social exper­i­ment explor­ing the trans­mis­sion and cir­cu­la­tion of ener­gy with­in a closed cir­cuit. The par­tic­i­pants, penned inside a cir­cum­fer­ence of elec­tri­fied ten­sion and pro­pelled by the pri­mal force of a sin­gle drum­beat, are giv­en to explore the perime­ters of their indi­vid­ual selves in rela­tion to the chain of con­nec­tiv­i­ty they come to col­lec­tive­ly embody.
