DIARIES OF FEAR
Immersive experience. 2019.
“Diaries of Fear” is a project about the loss of the political will of a nation. An exploration on Fear as a mechanism of domination and Sexuality and State. The piece investigates the relationship between citizens and repressive military authorities, in the context of three events that occurred during the course of a year in Havana. These events included a plane crash, the revolt of Congolese medical students, and heavy police attendance at a local concert.
Diaries of Fear asks: How does fear evolve within a society? How does pervasive political apathy affect the public discourse ? The work explores the physical manifestation of fear itself. In what physical states does one experience fear? Movement as the first reaction to the feeling of fear. Body movement and social movement. When does the sensation of fear first arise ? Diaries of Fear offers a simultaneously disturbing, yet uplifting experience, leaving the audience with the question: has the time come to reject fear?
