Cyberexorcism is a continuation of two previous works; Likes and Spiritual Boyfriends. The relationship between body-image-power-digitality has been one of the most present axes in these latest works. This time, it is a group piece in collaboration with five performers/Tik Tokers, which takes the Tik Tok app as its research base and aims to displace and/or exorcise the mechanisms and choreographic tools from the Internet to the stage. It is not about seeing the Internet as a diabolical phenomenon, as the word “exorcism” would suggest, but about exorcising – that is, expressing and squeezing – the images, mechanisms, corporalities and dances that we observe and experience through the Internet. The question is how to transpose them from this individual, flattened medium or body of the screen, placing them in the shared theatrical space. The object of exorcism is the soul, in this case the soul of the medium or body that is our mobile.

The piece provides a documentary vision (Tik Tok dance archive) as well as a biographical/artistic one, around the personal experience of each of the performers with the App. It opens a mirror between the creation and presentation tools that occur in a scenic format similar to and different from those that occur in a digital format: physical language, compositional strategies, relationship with the public, possibilities of diffusion and co-production.
