[not] breaking the cycle
(2026)
The performance [not] breaking the cycle explores the way we move through different phases of cycle, from order to chaos to order again. Trying to find the answers to questions, such as: How do things interact when they attract each other? How can what we perceive be distorted? How do things change when they are observed?
Even if we ever find those answers, we end up at the starting point, having to learn everything from scratch. In the end, the point is not to break the cycle, but to find a way to move with(in) it. This performance was created as a collaborative project between visual artists from Kunstuniversität and dancers from Bruckneruni. The performance was shown at the 2026 Ars Electronica Festival in Linz.
