LUXURY
LUX is a performance that addresses the concept of loss in various forms. Loss of innocence, loss of a friendship, loss of a loved one – loss on a symbolic level and loss on a concrete level. Integrating four distinct stories, united by the desire to cause a change for the better in the world, the performance starts from a documentation of everyday events and proposes an original performative exploration of the effects they have on an individual level.
The four characters act according to their own thought system, thus outlining a typology for each of them: the victim who constantly needs others to intervene and save her from her own life; the people pleaser who puts her own needs last, trying to please others first; the addict, a naive person who only feels at ease when protected by the group, and the savior, an outwardly strong personality who has managed to mask her fears by putting herself in a position of control.
