Going Nowhere 2023
A circus tragicomedy about nomophobia
Going Nowhere
In the age of acceleration, nothing can be more exciting than walking slowly, and in a time of distraction, nothing is as luxurious as paying attention, and in a time of constant movement, nothing is as urgent as sitting still.
GOING NOWHERE is an original, comic circus performance about our relationship to our mobile phones, the age of acceleration and the collapse of attention.
In GOING NOWHERE body percussion, object manipulation and acrobatic dance meet the absurd, the funny and the grotesque through an individual's struggle to put down his mobile phone and regain calm, focus and depth in his life.
GOING NOWHERE has received generous support from Statens Kunstfond and Odense Kommune, and was produced in collaboration with DYNAMO Workspace for Circus and Performing Arts in Odense and AFUKScene in Copenhagen.
A tragicomedy about extinction
"a constantly entertaining and thought-provoking little circus gem, stylistically reminiscent of Chaplin and Keaton.
