Arcana Swarm

by Kat Válastur


Dance | Sound Design | Composition | Live Mixing




“The sound, the objects, the diffuse light, the emotional states of suspension, the karst and exalted movements - all of this seems bizarre and puzzling, sometimes disturbing and frightening. And everything together results in the image of an obsessive-compulsive neurotic society - that seems to be its present diagnosis here. There is no well-tempered equilibrium, only states of constant excitement.
This is nothing new as a diagnosis, but it is accurate and perfectly staged by Kat Valastur in one of her most haunting pieces.”
