With “Rasp Your Soul” Kat Válastur presents her new work introducing the series “The Staggered Dances of Beauty” in which she reevaluates the production of mythology as a tool to process contemporary questions. The performer in „Rasp Your Soul“ enacts a contemporary mythological being. Inside an uncanny environment he unleashes a series of kinetic monuments as altered codes of processed cultural signs. Ruins of language from capitalist digital culture transform into mantras that initiate precarious gestures, fading slang whispers, voice interruptions, molecular kinetics. We encounter elusive identities expressing different types of realness. The space becomes a field of tension between language and the visual connotations of fluid complex demands and input from the outside. “Rasp Your Soul” partly a dance piece, partly a choreographed concert, is a manifestation of the elusive. It builds up the narrative of a post-mythological space in which a humanoid with a “sensitive skin” makes us think about our flesh and bones.
