Simon Baetens - I'm Not Done
With I'm Not Done, Simon Baetens creates an intense, playful performance about self-profiling, loneliness and being on the road. For the first time, his drag alter ego Electra leaves the club and appears on stage. A performance like a doom scroll, in which pop music guides you through the labyrinth of the internet. A tribute to the shameless theatricality of pop concerts and the poetry of song lyrics. Can exuberance and profundity go hand in hand?
Musical Journey
Electra takes the audience on a musical journey through transformative virtual and emotional landscapes. Using drag, music, video and text, it creates a dreamlike world where the boundaries between technology and reality are no longer distinguishable.
*The performance is English spoken, with excerpts in other languages.
