An artist couple confronts the fears of pandemic restrictions through their creativity, digitally unleashing two eccentric performance personas bent on transforming their home into a glittery alternative reality. Stranded on Zoom in a domestic fantasy of spectacle, they reverse gender and share lucid dreams, play out preposterous wellbeing rituals and expose their daily coping routines in an online intimacy that is manipulative, tender and slightly disturbing.
Created as a digital experiment and positive adaptation of studio processes to the shifts in online performance since 2020, Flanker Origami invites you to be digital voyeurs of the erosion of social bonding in a domestic environment through gendered body reversal.
Flanker Origami premiered as part of the digital programme of the 2021 hybrid Edinburgh Festival Fringe and most recently was performed at the 10th Transit Festival – Theatre-Women-Courage (Odin Teatret, Denmark) in June 2022.
出於對疫情限制創意的擔憂，一對藝術伉儷以數字方式釋放出兩個古怪的表演角色，決心將他們的家變成一個閃耀的另類現實。在一個家庭奇觀的幻想中，他們顛倒性別，分享清醒的夢境，上演荒謬的幸福儀式，並在線上的親密關係中披露他們的日常應對策略，富有操縱性與溫情的同時隱含焦慮。作為一個數字實驗，《側衛摺紙》對2020年以來線上表演的轉變做出了積極調整。通過性別化的身體反轉，這個藝術項目邀請你成為家庭環境中社會關係被侵蝕的數字窺探者。
