Galway artist Stephanie González will perform Plastic Age, a piece which explores consumerism in a contemporary world of fake ideals. Using a collaboration of different media, this visual performance identifies how human nature has become dislodged and transformed into a paradise of contentment for material dominance.
Performance At The BOI Theatre during NUIG Mucailt Arts Festival 2010
ʻPlastic Ageʼ by Francomime
Tuesday / 13:00 / Bank of Ireland Theatre / Free
This new performance work by Galway artist Stephanie González
combines video, music and sound, definite structured space, body
movements and lights. The first part deals with the subconscious state, in
which only colours and shapes influence the mind. In the second part a
transition takes place that moves body and soul to the conscious state.
The final part reveals women’s choices in society at the time of the
plastic age.
Among Francomime’s influences are dance, mime, Butoh, Burlesque,
abstract impressionism, symbolism, mythology, being a single woman in
the 21st century, and shopping.
