For the past twelve years, Lisa Vereertbrugghen has explored the political and physical dimensions of techno (hardcore) music and dance. With Again Forever, she expands her research to social dance at the other end of the speed spectrum: slow dance.
Again Forever approaches slow dance as a potentially subversive form of dance, a slow sister to rave. The performance focuses on the radical way slow dance addresses intimacy and time in an era dominated by productivity, speed, and isolation. Slow dance is removed from its traditional context and connected to today’s queer nightlife. Slow dance becomes a collective practice and a form of resistance, a slow rave.
