Dance and fake news: Crossart dance art illuminates digital fears

Magdeburg in the focus of creative arguments

The fusion of dance, multimedia and socially critical topics finds out its expression in the current piece "Deep Flow Behind" of CrossArt dance art. Staged by Silke Neumann, the premiere is celebrated on July 19 at the Wuk Theater Quartier and represents a significant answer to the prevailing disinformation campaigns in the digital era.

The core questions of the information society

at a time when the credibility of information is constantly questioned, the choreography clears up with the feeling of collective paranoia. The performers Esther Schneider, Anne Scholze and Roxanne Grosshans investigate the question: "How does our society deal with informative challenges?" Through abstract images, you invite the audience to deal with the psychosis and fears that arise from constant doubts about the truth.

A look behind the scenes of artistic cooperation

The special thing about "Deep Flow Behind" is the close cooperation between different artistic media. In addition to the dance, the music of Michael Plewinski comes, which combines minimalist sounds with driving rhythms. This is supported by impressive video installations by Denis Herzog and Danny Manthei, who immerse the audience into the emotional current of the flood of information.

The relevance of the topic

The examination of the digital flood of information and its effects on society is more current than ever. Crossart dance art asks the audience to think about the responsibility of the consumption of information and how we are influenced by our communication channels. This is particularly relevant at a time when fake news and manipulation dominate public discourse and thus endanger our democracy.

a network of creative minds

The artistic team of "Deep Flow Behind" is a combination of experienced artists and newcomers who jointly take new creative ways. The diverse talents and backgrounds of the ensemble members contribute to the overall effect of this innovative dance production and also open up access to the topic for the audience.

Overall, “Deep Flow Behind” is not just a dance piece, but an important discourse on the challenges of the modern information world and the way we interweave life and art.
