Through a set of fantastic organs, 𝘣𝘢𝘣𝘦𝘴 introduces a sensuous world that doesn’t stop at the body’s borders. These organs don’t have vital functions: their byproducts are dances, sounds, objects and poems –a gathering of lovers in lust for touch.
𝘣𝘢𝘣𝘦𝘴 cultivates a space where fantasy does matter, matter does fantasy, and where sensual experiences are one’s primary way of staying in touch with the world. 𝘣𝘢𝘣𝘦𝘴 is the prelude to farkas’ first group piece mama and the first work created through 𝘰𝘳𝘨𝘢𝘯-𝘪𝘯𝘨, a choreographic research which queers the body by weaving together fantasy with its physically felt sense.
𝘰𝘳𝘨𝘢𝘯-𝘪𝘯𝘨 currently inhabits the digital domain organ-ing.gergodfarkas.com.
This performance is part of the 5th edition of NEXTFEST, Trafó's very own mini festival, with which it celebrates new forms, emerging artists and the joy of experimentation each year. Please find the full festival programme here, most events are English-friendly!
