Tactical and stumbling. These acts. A document inside of a document. Deliberation on beliefs and practices, of incidents and erroneous calculations. At moments conspicuously under surveillance.

Blue* *Disco is a choreography for 4 performers, two monitors and a video camera. The work confronts the audience with a frank approach to power, failure, insecurity and hope. The performers inhabit the stage, playing themselves in a series of scenes loosely bound by a structure that defies logic, allowing for multiple departures and conclusions.

Blue* *Disco is a forum - a staging ground - for a public dissection of intimacy and confrontation. With humor and absurdity, the performers allow their audience to bear witness to the events on stage, and to the questions asked there.
