“reality warping” questions how we know reality is actually reality and who constructs it. This dynamic evening critiques our current view of creating and maintaining the identity of our contemporary selves. It puts a magnifying glass on the disconnect between reality and perception, as well as our survivalist ability to adapt – all through a lens of playful wonder. The performance project works with dance, music, projections and video looping, social media and augmented reality. It culminates in cross-disciplinary performances that are shown in front of a live audience but can also be experienced from home. In the process, “reality warping” questions the relationship between our digital existence and our analogue selves, the dissonance of the interplay between reality, perception and social construct.
