Søren Evinson’s work lives in the intersections of performance, theatre and dance. By sliding through these categories, he generates new fantasies on what can be conceived as spectacular, understanding the spectacular in the context of consumer society and the idealisation of contemporary culture. He investigates through body, word, song and objects, and elaborates motifs made out of poses, gestures, vocalisations and language, by which he builds and thinks choreographically. He works on presence, gesture and action as form, word, speech and discourse as form, gaze, audience and entertainment as form, with the intention of attending to the exhibiting of the body to further construct narratives that through their sequentiality appear to be sensitive to the logos but that disrupt its logics within their own frames of expression.
“Evinson’s explosion onto the scene is one of the most powerful things we’ve seen in a long time. ‘A Nation is Born in Me’ is more like a train collision between performer and audience than an encounter. The piece contains a healthy dose of honesty on the part of the artist that is hard to find…. Evinson is not of this world. The fullness of the piece is linked to the nature of the theatrical act itself”. Oriol Puig Taulé (Núvol)
