A glistening green screen, where we explore the limits of our digital dependency.
When are we online and when are we offline, and more importantly, when are we really here and when are we not? ‘To be or not to be?’, Shakespeare is painfully relevant. How real are our digital friendships and how dependent are we on all the information we consume? These days, we are all journalists, photographers, and followers.
Bliss puts the spotlight on our addiction to information. A group of people shares the wish to retreat from digital society and chooses to go off-grid.
After the success of Yonder and The Definition of Now, Bliss is the third performance of Jasper van Luijk about the relationship between people and the age they live in.
