About the performance
Deep Fake (2021), gergő d. farkas’ first choreographic work is a gathering of objects, humans, sounds and movements dancing on the collapsing borders between living and inorganic, material and immaterial. It´s an attempt to play with the structures that secretly (re)produce these binaries.
Shifting between extremes such as the role of a host or an absent body, the performer is accompanied by composer Márton Csernovszky’s sweet yet eerie, sensitive yet expansive music and by a tender object called Grid.
Deep Fake challenges the monocracy of the solo format by gently directing the spectator’s attention to the decentralised performance of sound, light, and object, turning the space into a living and breathing entity. While dreaming about new possibilities of coexistence, the work is driven by the question: how can we persuade the human gaze to become a little bit less anthropocentric?

About the performance
In a world where land, language and folklore have become commodities, the only place you're welcome back is outside - where greenery is no longer the primary reference. Instead, uneven floorboards, illusion mirrors and trickster steps form profitable landscapes.
Nüganen, Kisling and Sova, as a reaction, open up their ice-manufacturing enterprise. In the backdrop of nightmares and constant dripping they navigate between multiple perspectives on locality, accompanied by CDJs and a banjo. At Earth magnitude they are specks of dust, and next to geological time as-if on speed. They trace locality from places where the influence of one dominant culture has made imported goods part of folklore, while the word 'local' still adds value when making choices as a tourist.
"Ash, horizon, riding a house" is a series of chain-reactions that invites the audience to envision a belonging - one that cannot be seen from here. It must be imagined.
