In ELEKTRIK, performers and audience members generate the energy needed to produce sound and light together. Set in a futuristic underwater world, bodies, generators, membranes and voices form a circuit in which movement is directly transformed into electronic music, vibrations and light. With this performance, the collective La Cage responds to the urgency of taking action towards a more sustainable future, placing the body at the centre as a resource that, while not inexhaustible, has the capacity to regenerate. ELEKTRIK further develops La Cage’s interdisciplinary and ecofeminist practice, bringing together its explorations of voice, movement, sensuality and accessibility in an immersive, multisensory experience. ELEKTRIK is intended for adult audiences, with or without children.
