About

kin_

Read full description

›kin_‹ is a performative dance piece by Charlotte Triebus exploring human corporeality with digital technology. One to three avatars move in augmented space and can be approached and experienced via your own mobile device. You are invited to join reality entanglements and its distortions, to sense alien intimacy and the fine line between observation and surveillance. Between agency, connection and interaction, the avatar dancers react to proximity and distance, movement and wind impulses. Together with its follow-up ›proxy‹ it brings Performance Art right to your finger tips. For the interactive, binaural soundtrack and reactive costumes, Charlotte Triebus has been collaborating with composer Brigitta Muntendorf as well as digital make-up artist Inès Alpha. ›kin_‹ has been developed and scientifically supported by MIREVI Lab (University of Applied Science Düsseldorf). ›kin_‹ has premiered in August 2021 and has travelled the world since. Whether at your home, in open space, at Slamdance Festival in Saltlake City, at CCCB Barcelona or at NRW Forum in Düsseldorf – ›kin_‹ has been part of plenty of festivals, conferences and exhibitions with several international awards won, proving that the performance is experienced literally anywhere on Earth. The exact exhibition venues can be found in the event calendar on the serie’s website www.kin.dance, which is also accessible via the app.
