How we make choices when surrounded by marketing, technology and social media. DECOY looks at our interaction with modern culture. Asks how we maintain our own individuality and when, if ever, can we step out of the constant stream of information.
In a 20 minute non stop piece, 5 dancers continually circle the stage, individuals caught together in a stream of constant motion and information until one decides to step out and stop.
With space in-kind from The Place and Islington Arts Space.
