DISPLACED BODIES

Displaced Bodies is a response to the continued closure of clubs and aims to transfer the value of these places and their people to a new environment. Clubbing experience and similar gatherings allow the creation of imagination and re-interpretation of the relation between spaces and people, also called heterotopia, in which an individual's existence is free for self-expression and self-development. Essential spaces for those of us who found a type of ‘other’ worldly experience, where it was possible to create our character we longed to be, a character that the everyday social functionality of living did not accept.With the continuation of the closure of nightclubs and other formats of social-cultural places, the human body and mind are slowly imprisoned by our society and structures in which we live. The counter- creation of safe-spaces are needed. With the general forwarding gentrification on social-cultural neighbourhoods and the actual on- going pandemic, the nightclubs dying is just a question of time. With the leakage of those environments that we encounter no longer, do we need to think about an alternative and new concept of those heterotopic spaces? In these days, can the more and more virtualized experience of such social phenomena be replaced? The performance opens a window to an imaginary world or rather an imaginary club, open for the public, letting us remind of our power and capability of the imagination of free expression.

 

“Place, as a metaphor, can be experienced in different ways, existing or created. If created, space can be Foucault’s ‘placeless place’, a utopia. A place that exists, however, can be a heterotopic space. A heterotopia is what we as individuals interpret it to be: it can be a space for reconstituting the self, rewriting the scripts of identity and placing the self within a context. [...] a heterotopic space in which to build new friendships and establish themselves in a local community, creating and weaving their experiences into a tapestry that tells their stories of immigration and resettlement.“
