In IT’S THE END OF THE AMUSEMENT PHASE, three female dancers portray a world marked by exhaustion, conflicting emotions, and disappointed hopes. The piece explores what remains when the promises of the past and the future cannot be fulfilled.
History is mostly narrated as a linear process towards progress. Chara Kotsali, however, tells a more complex story of discontinuities and disappointments, in which exhausted bodies and drained emotions take centre stage. “IT’S THE END OF THE AMUSEMENT PHASE” is set up as a cacophonic dance marathon, infused with high-pitched guitar chords, relentless drumming, and merciless rapping. Like a nauseating carousel of feelings, facts, and images, three women attempt to embody the present’s emotional history. If the promises of the past were not fulfilled and the future has abandoned us – what is left for us now?
