Klub Taiga – Dear Darkness

After its debut at the Venice Theatre Biennale, Industria Indipendente presents in Milan an immersive performance, an experience that engages the primordial side of our soul. Klub Taiga is an open space, a diffused landscape that defies definitions of genre and spatio-temporal categories. From thick fog, a setting emerges, inhabited by objects from a long-gone time: a meticulous arrangement of rugs, shawls, sofas, engraved stools, trays, laps, candlesticks. The space of the club alludes to counterculture, to a place in which apparitions become possible. In the dark nothing ever happens in a single place; inside the music, bodies fuse with each other; light changes move and transform words, song and movement. The taiga evokes an inhospitable, undesirable environment – the opposite of the tropical paradise of many people’s dreams. From these images, the possibility of new forms of life emerges. A dreamlike and shamanic performance that surrounds and captures the spectator.
