Park @ deSingel

January 25th - 20h00

PARK by Shila Anaraki
based on a composition of Stefan Prins
a Zwerm production
deSingel - theaterstudio


























Think of a body in stand-by, a short-circuited thought, a human brain processing at a frequency of 5 GHz...

In PARK, six computers form a communication network that provides six performers with real- time instructions. PARK confronts the human body with a digital logic. It plays on the border between human presence and absence in technology and embodies a puzzle in which this presence and absence outline each other. With playful precision we investigate strategies for embracing, resisting, adapting, disrupting or short- circuiting these technical surroundings. Who infiltrates what, and what infiltrates whom? PARK inhabits a peculiar network, which sputters, crackles and flickers. 

For PARK, Stefan Prins asked Shila Anaraki to create a performance based on his compostion Infiltrationen, for 4 electric guitars and a live-electronics performer. Central to his composition is the notion of technology infiltrating the conditio humana on several levels.
