About the performance

Deep Fake by Gergő D.

Farkas

Deep Fake is a series of events which speculate upon copy, and inauthenticity and investigate new possibilities of coexistence.

The piece challenges the monocracy of the solo by gently directing the spectator’s attention to the decentralized performance of sound, light, and object, turning the space into a living and breathing entity. By approaching the body as an apparatus driven by impulses and emotions, Deep Fake investigates the collapsing borders between the living and the inorganic, the existing and the unreal, with the structures that secretly (re)produce these binaries.

In Deep Fake, the performer is accompanied by composer Márton Csernovszky’s sweet yet eerie, sensitive yet expansive music, and by a tender object called Grid.

As the lovechild of cross-disciplinary aspirations and millennial greed, Deep Fake extends its invisible tentacles from the stage to the interwebs and takes over the two-euro domain deep-fake.world to become virtual and remain virtually immortal.

Gergő D. Farkas (they/them) is a choreographer and dancer currently based in Stockholm and Budapest. Gergő choreographs spaces where (non-) humans and (in)corporeal are equally super welcome to dance. Sometimes (actually, quite often), Gergő relates to dance as a hyperobject.

Currently, they are a resident artist of Performing Gender and tour their piece Deep Fake as a part of the Aerowaves Twenty22 selection.
