SUB.LAB.PRO / Zsófia Tamara Vadas - Imre Vass
EX - exorcise exercise - shaky exercises for ten dancer-performers (on difficult terrain)
An imaginary space that evokes at the same time a futuristic gym, the sterile coldness of an abandoned laboratory, and the dark, pulsating chaos of a club—this is EX – exorcise exercise.
EX does not tell a story, but generates a sensation. It is a space for remembering the future, where people not only work with weights, but also recreate moods, reprogram habits, and break down ingrained behaviors, where energy investment condenses into knowledge in the form of beads of sweat. The figures circulating in the system deviate from expectations to the best of their ability in order to liberate themselves, break free and get away. Under the neon lights, the EXs appear one after another: exorcise, exercise, exclusive expedition, explicit expansion, extreme extension...
Zsófia Tamara Vadas and Imre Vass lure the 10 young, early-career dancers of SUB.LAB.PRO's fifth season into the training ground: the fictional EX - exorcise exercise gym, where they practice sports by jumping up and taking off from the ground so they can wander in the infra, ultra, inter, trans, and sub domains.
