SFIAF: Amy Lewis / Agnes Szelag: ANIMA MAGNETA

ANIMA MAGNETA is a multimedia performance piece based on theories in David Abram’s 1996 book The Spell of the Sensuous. Key themes discussed by Abrams are explored: the transformation of sensory awareness due to our immersion with technology, animism, and our symbol-induced alienation from nature. Choreographer Amy Lewis and sound artist Agnes Szelag interweave dance, video, and sound, to create an experience of a surrogate reality where seemingly disparate ideas and dimensions suddenly coexist. Get ready for time to shift and other worlds to appear.
