7:30pm to 8:40pm at DanceEast
An original live dance performance using film, text and innovative digital technology to explode audience’s expectations of the kinds of stories dance can tell. Centred around a fictional interview between a journalist and a politician embroiled in a scandal, DEEPFAKE tackles complex political & social issues through the interplay of movement and narrative.
MISCHIEVOUS. TECHNICALLY CHALLENGING. CURRENT.
DEEPFAKE speaks directly to the global uncertainties of today, where the very notion of objective truth is increasingly fragile and contested and where A.I. allows the creation of images and video that are indistinguishable from reality.
In the setting of the TV studio, an ensemble of chroma key performers clad in green morph suits playfully reveal the manipulation in plain sight using real time green screen effects and live dance. These “green goons” become a metaphor for the politician’s half truths and lies – analogue and digital combine to interrogate misinformation and the crumbling notion of objective truth.
