Rage is a performative response to the growing epidemic of loneliness, polarization in society, and the role of identity politics in these phenomena. In Rage I materialize the assumption that the technologies that have created the illusion of connectivity are the ones that are accelerating the loneliness epidemic, and that social media has increased the volume of rage among us.
In Rage I will perform, dance, sing, play and dialog with a virtual self about all that makes me righteously indignant. This is an interdisciplinary-solo-punk performance born out of a chain of disillusionment with people, society and the direction of politics on a global scale. As a further manifestation of rebellion, I have decided to go "solo" in the creation process as well, meaning that I will create everything by myself: movement, text, music, costume, stage design, and video.
The ideological approach to this performance comes from the punk subculture. Punk political ideologies are primarily concerned with individual freedom and anti-establishment views. Common punk viewpoints include anti-authoritarianism, a DIY ethic, non-conformity, anti-corporatism, direct action and not selling out. In the punk subculture, the body is a symbol of opposition, a political statement expressing disgust with what is socially accepted. The idea is to make others question their own views. The question of authenticity is essential in the punk subculture - the pejorative term "poseur" is applied to those who associate with punk and adopt its stylistic attributes but are deemed not to share or understand the underlying values or philosophy. In this work, I will call out all the poser identity groups around me and will delve deeply into the places where I am a poser and call myself out.
