Emergency
State Of
An immersive installation as a rave simulator. The concept of the state of emergency, according to Agamben, is an issue that has not developed its theory. The notion – rave simulator – refers to the term in a political sense, but also refers to the state in which a person is introduced during a long rhythmic dance. We experience a unique type of isolation during a pandemic. The imposed restrictions lead to more and more isolation. Is this state of emergency possible under sterile conditions that could become the only way to meet our needs in a dystopian post-pandemic scenario? The simulator has been designed in a way which allows each audience member to have a personalized experience of the event – one by one, they go into a simulator erected up on the stage for up to 45 minutes. A special music set dedicated to this event is created by VTSS – one of the most important artists on the European underground club scene.
