The End - Part 2

Blending movement, electronic music, light, and video, The End – part 2 immerses itself in questions of togetherness, solidarity, and belonging within an increasingly digital and fragmented society. How do we perceive each other as our identities grow more transparent? What do we share in a culture where so much feels exposed? When does our presence become real?

The performance creates an amorphous realm of connections: between the three performers, their queer male bodies, and video projections. The lines between performer and audience, observer and observed, fact and fiction overlap and blur. What emerges is a collection of short stories where energy, stillness, distortion, sensitivity, the digital, and the skin magnify one another. As the performers reveal different facets of themselves, they dismantle physical boundaries — the walls we were taught to trust yet reach across.

Inspired by the Stonewall Riots, often seen as the “end” of an era of queer oppression in the 1960s, the title The End – part 2 plays an ironic twist, embodying both closure and its refusal. Embracing this tension, the work traces the ongoing path toward queer liberation, challenging fixed views and evoking open-endedness and a multi-layered perspective. All beginning with a simple step, each narrative thread weaves into the next, laying bare the fragile dynamics of our social gaze.
