Work Description:
The first modern Olympic Games coincide with the invention of the cinematograph, which completely transformed the way sports are participated in and received. Rules of the Olympics are being changed under the gaze of the camera and the tele-participation of the spectator. For the spectator, this distorted perception of the games becomes an immersive experience with elements of melodrama.
At the center of it all is the body, from which the rules of the game constantly demand more and more. Modern sports impose extreme loads on athletes that exceed the biological capacity of the body.
Bio:
Dominik Więcek is an artist whose works are filled with humour, playfulness and a sense of lightness. As a choreographer and performer he is deconstructing dance history, theatre rules and tradition without hesitation. Taking autobiographical topics, he aims to make them resonate with the audiences’ lived experiences. Więcek believes in confessional performances in which honesty can be situated somewhere between privacy and theatrical formality. In his work he flirts with many theatrical genres, experiments with his own image and challenges societal norms.
