SURVEILLANCE

FRIDAY > 05/07/21 > 6pm & 7pm EDT

Surveillance2.0 is a voyeuristic experience unpacking the tension around privacy issues highlighted by pandemic life. BARE Dance Company’s completely live production brings new meaning to immersive performance, creatively using multiple feeds -- and even a drone camera-- in the theater at Tribeca Performing Arts Center. Cinematic in scope, with free-moving cameras wielded by the performers, Surveillance2.0 is inspired by the increased scrutiny of personal spaces during quarantine prompted by platforms like Zoom.

With performances at 6pm and 7pm, each presentation will be unique due to real-time mixing of visual and audio feeds -- handled by director Mike Esperanza-- and streamed to YouTube Live. The 7pm live-stream will be followed by a brief Q&A with the artists.

Photosensitivity warning: the use of strobe effect is used in this performance
