‘A corrupted empire’ is the representation of an imaginary we envisioned during the early process. Stuck in a place where time and space are empty concepts, we researched on how these circumstances affect us. In isolation, confrontation seems to be the only way to escape the bleak landscape. Within conflict the ego manages at least to define itself through the negation of what it repudiates and rejects. In a postindustrial aesthetic two characters develop a complex, intricate as well as intimate relationship that drives them through a search for new perspectives in a seemingly exhausted land. During the development of the piece those two figures acknowledge each other only to be confronted with their own self, mirroring each other.
During this journey they face an internal conflict towards the decadent and contradictory aspects of their identity, which got formed within a context that they try to overcome. Morals and values get questioned as a result of a disconnection that takes place on a barren land; the internal compass that guides the usual develop of a person in each of the stages of life is pointless. The research aims to create and concretize the chapters/scenes that will define the telling of this story through different media: movement, text, video, music and light.
