Recover Laboratory - Joy of Spleen will have its premiere at Stockholm Fringe festival 6.9.-9.9.
Joy of Spleen is an immersive live installation drawing from contemporary circus and contemporary art in a unique way. Every audience member steps into the world alone and can spend as much or as little time in the artwork as they wish.
It is partly inspired by the famous painting by Botticelli, The Birth of Venus, and partly Baudelaire’s melancholy poetics of spleen.
Here the freedom is yours.
"Spleen (french) is the melancholy of a modern (privileged) human; a collective and simultaneously excruciatingly private feeling. It is a form of boredom, sorrow, detachment, helplessness and insignificance; parallel to an ongoing, permanent, personal catastrophe. It is grey and deep blue, almost black but never quite "
Different pathways, covered in various kinds of artworks, performances, video, immersive installations, light and sound lead and mislead the audience to the center of the maze.
And in the center, there is stillness.
