‘A hang up’
Between newspaper, madness and anxiety, we see the agony of a circus artist who is trapped between his technique and the manipulation of his alter-ego. The artist, as a subject of performance, “believing” in freedom, has been chained to self-exploitation.
The subject of our story – where passion and obsession, conscious and unconscious are mixed – travels on this journey, unable to recognize and understand this constructed reality.
We will look at society from the exhaustion, fatigue and suffocation of overproduction, hyper-performance and hypercommunication, which blur the concept of the real.
What does this tiredness consist of? Is it really possible to accept that today’s freedom is paradoxically a new form of enshacklement? From these questions arrives the project ‘A Hang Up’, a piece of critical and contemporary character.
