Body Bellum: A Fusion of Fashion and Performance
December 13
21:00-03:00
@ Toekomstmuziek, Danzingerbocht 29
Dive into a visceral exploration of the body’s battle and the alienation it endures in Body Bellum, an innovative event where fashion, performance, and set design collide. At its core are Mikołaj Szwaja’s striking garments—pieces that embody both armor and fragility, blurring the lines between strength and vulnerability. These designs come alive through the movement of Kacper Kucharczyk, the evening’s main performer, who uses his body to tell a story of struggle, resistance, and alienation. The experience is heightened by an immersive soundscape created by Jan Marek Kamiński, whose compositions weave haunting melodies with discordant undertones, mirroring the tension on stage. Greta Wegmann’s surreal set design enhances this atmosphere, blending organic and industrial elements to create a space where the familiar feels alien, amplifying the themes of disconnection and conflict. Body Bellum is more than a performance—it’s a journey into the depths of the human experience, where fashion, art, and emotion converge.
