DRIVER - White line fever (ACT I) (2024)
site generic dance piece for parking garagespremiering at OPENINGS / Dansehallerne 3rd of September - 8th of September
White line fever – also known as highway hypnosis – is an altered mental state in which a driver can travel lengthy distances, responding to external events in the expected, safe, and correct manner with no recollection of having consciously done so. White line fever delves into an intimate affair; a relationship with a car. More than just a machine that moves you from A to B, it is the space where endless daydreams of leaving can be redeemed – or get stuck.
White line fever is act one of the choreographic work DRIVER. Act two is Before lunch, which you can experience in October 2024 at Dansehallerne. The DRIVER series investigates the act of driving, a paradoxical situation of movement; being in motion, whilst sitting still. It is a play on preconceived notions of perception and agency, a play on who is moving who, at what pace, and through which spaces.
