A body running from itself, beside itself, outself itself, inside itself, performing itself. ILL BEHAVIOUR is the co-devising hybrid experiment between body materia, sound and movement. An interdisciplinary performance exploring the abject and coporeal experience of a body turned inside out. ILL BEHAVIOUR plays with qualia, the collective clinical, and questions the shape of bodily memories. An exploration into auscultations and the body uncanny, ILL BEHAVIOUR deconstructs the intimate act of listening in on our own bodies and translates that into an audio-visual performance.

“A stage space has two rules: (1) Anything can happen and (2) Something must happen.”
– Peter Brook
This experimental experience immerses both the audience and the performers. As an audience, you are encouraged to order, interact and encounter the events unfolding within the space. As a performer, you are to perform, improvise and affect the audience. Anything can happen during this experience, you expect something to happen.
Rooted in experimental research, this performance delves into the ritualistic aspects of technology use, with a particular focus on smartphones.
