An evening of two performative works exploring anxiety, anonymity, bodily adaptation, and ways of existing within social systems. Through dance, sound, voice, and video, the artists approach states of dissolution, inner tension, and the search for embodied presence.

Closed Systems Psychedelia — Katya Volkova

A performance about mimicry as a survival strategy and, simultaneously, a loss of individuality. Through choreography, sound, and image work, Katya Volkova explores bodily mechanisms of adaptation to social roles, office routines, and collective behavioral scripts. The work exists at the intersection of dance, somatic, and performative practices, inviting the viewer into a state of attunement and observation of shifting bodily presence in space.

Abyss Rising — Nu Simakina @nusimakina , Nika Blue @nika_blue___ , Egor Kurchugin @golova_gora

An interdisciplinary performance on the nature of anxiety, unfolding through the metaphor of an abyss. Voice, live modulated sound, and video projections create a space of inner chaos, where a person searches for a path toward light through a continuous state of tension. The work combines sonic poetry, bodily presence, and visual environment, transforming the experience of anxiety into a collective sensory experience.
