Lamento for Latency

Tanzperformance über das Zögern zwischen Impuls und Bewegung

Lena Appel und Sophia Obermeyer

As we scroll, bodies grow quieter, while other networks grow louder. On the internet, we are connected and alone. Misunderstandings pile up, and anti-communication becomes an endless space. “Lamento for Latency” is a dance performance about the hesitation between impulse and movement, touch and echo. Latency describes the delay between an event and the subsequent reaction. It is both a technical phenomenon and a deeply human experience—of time, closeness, and what is lost before it arrives. The performance focuses on the body absent from the digital fabric: receiving, delaying, transmitting. Two dancers form a real-time network in which connection and delay, resonance and misunderstanding are inextricably interwoven.In keeping with the theme of physicality at the nowHERE festival, the performance will take place as a “Relaxed Performance.” Different needs, ways of perceiving, and forms of participation are welcome. To ensure a stress-free arrival, the audience is invited to arrive in the auditorium starting at 6 pm and choose a seating option that suits them from among the alternative choices provided. “Stimming and fidget toys” provided on-site can help regulate one’s own perception and attention through repetitive movements. In addition, earplugs and a limited number of noise-canceling headphones are available to help individuals adjust their perception of sound.
