JUST A STAGE
- a period of development
- the area in a theater
- a particular area of public life

Is it just a stage we’re in/on right now? What is it exactly anyway? Or, what could it be(come)?

“While the border seeks to prevent one from crossing, the threshold seems to invite such a crossover. […] While borders create clear divisions, thresholds mark a space of possibilities, empowerment, and metamorphosis. (…) the aesthetics of the performative aims at a border-crossing art, this means that it transforms borders into thresholds. The aesthetic of the performative allows for an art of passage”
–Erika Fischer-Lichte

eˉlektron, together with 4 mentors from the fields of performance, technologies, sound and visual arts, will invite 8 creative professionals to explore the borders dividing and limiting us now and to make an attempt in transforming them into thresholds through the form of online performance.

During 2 weeks in late November/beginning of December, 2 collectives will be formed and guided through the process of creation of 2 online performances that will be staged at elektron.live.

We don’t have the answers for the questions we pose.

We have curiosity that drives us to explore where the search for those answers might bring us.
