Breathing Space 11
Bodies in Flight Theatre & spell #7
Double Happiness, a transport
Kaylene met Ben in a chatroom. Dan visited Mariannes website. Now its double happiness twice over. This web-event and live performance is a collaboration between Englands Bodies in Flight and spell#7 of Singapore. It explores cyber-love with a vibrant mix of text, movement, digital, sonic and video imagery.
Who cares shes on the other side of the planet, when your text-message finger gets twitchy? Cancel the hotel room: just stay online. Real lifes messy. Do you know where hes been? Does he? Across continents where differences of language and culture, shoe-size and resistance to disease create turbulence in the flow of information and capital, Double Happiness jacks into the bodies that brave time-zones and economy class to get fleshy with another.
Visit the virtual romances on the web-site as they blossom long-distance, then come and see the lovers perform in the flesh. www.doublehappines2.com
