Music for Portal

Portal, a dance performance by Nuria Guiu with live music by GMM, premieres October 20th at Oktoberdans.

A portal is a doorway – to past, present or future worlds – to different realities – to different versions of ourselves.

Portal revolves around the themes in Douglas Rushkoff’s book Present Shock: When Everything Happens Now and his term digiphrenia, which tries to capture the experience of living multiple editions of ourselves simultaneously, especially in the digital world where we exist as multiple profiles. Social media changes the relationship between our body and our consciousness – and so our understanding of time and space changes.
