‘The Space Cadet’, a poetic journey into space, a cosmic quest of a solitary traveller, the astronaut. Audience and performer are constantly transported to new places, cover large distances and discover new frontiers, natural and artificial. Constantly on the move the explorer criss closes spacetime, piecing fragments of a collective and personal journey. Our protagonist exists within a tailor made installation which sometimes feel like a home, vehicle, spaceship from the past or future, and at others like ‘prison’, game or his entire universe. Architectural lighting and soundscapes create transitions in space and time. Past, present and future merge.
The work bridges space science and research with contemporary dance and hip hop culture. ‘The Space Cadet’ is a pop up performance, with the set installed in both indoor and outdoor spaces.
