Two people take the stage, playfully juggling the norms of digital social behavior, while perfecting their features with snapchat filters. Through breaking down the norms of behavior and identity, GENLYD highlights the beauty and strength of daring to be who you are – “imperfect”.
In a world dominated by social media, the artistic team behind GENLYD questions our filtered perceptions of reality. The performance is a study in human behavior in a digital age.
GENLYD exposes the unrealness of our reality and makes us ask: is it even possible to connect if none of us are who we really are?
With GENLYD the aim is to create a starting point for debate about the pressure that contemporary humans, not least young people, are exposed to in a culture which constantly feeds us images of ourselves, and others based on an unattainable illusion, a constructed fiction.
