Kate McIntosh - Lake Life
McIntosh invites audiences from 10 to 100 years old into her artistic work, where the performance can happen only when activated by spectators. Lake Life is a game – and an invitation for a playful yet radical imagination. Can we walk away from our boundaries? Can we to think again out of the box, and transform the rules we follow into something serving better the purpose, for us, and the world around?
How changeable and fluid are we? How do we tangle with each other and the world? Lake Life is a collaborative game, a puzzle, and a celebration – step in with two feet and maybe leave with three. The game is transformative, imaginary and real. The audience is invited to explore unprecedented spaces, a dreamlike world of imaginary bodies and self-transformation, where altered senses become palpable and the boundaries of identity are fluid. While the socio-physical fragility created by the pandemic may be experienced differently by young and old, the (re)discovery of trust, fun, and free imagination is a collective concern. How can we break free from the roles we’re expected to play in the outside world? What connects us all? Perhaps it’s the possibility of imagining a new world where we can reinvent our ways from scratch…
For people aged 10 and above! The can performance can be experienced in either Dutch or English. The performance is participative, with light physical contact.
