afterimage is a co-production of Spazio ZUT! and La MaMa Umbria International,
with residency support from Centro Umbro di Residenze Artistiche.

afterimage is a butoh-ish performance work that engages with the liminal and the in-between, inhabiting these spaces and others in a hauntology of “unbodiedness” for the postinternet landscape. Through deeply physical work rooted in the artist’s longstanding butoh practice, afterimage investigates the dissociative nature of information overload, while also considering literal effects of the digital on the body.
