Set inside a simulated club, a metahuman character moves under strobe light and bass, acting as a proxy for the technologized body and the circulation of affect within late capitalist leisure. Through the recursive interplay of sound, light, and movement, the work explores exhaustion, repetition, and the unstable boundaries between labour and release. Drawing on Moten and Harney’s concept of the undercommons, the solitary dancer moves between alienation and fugitive sociality, staging the rave as both an afterlife of labour and a contested site of collective emergence.
