A dance/ music/ video performance
Petter Jacobsson & Thomas Caley/ Scentrifug

"Petter Jacobsson and Thomas Caley, the dance duo Scentrifug, creates a literal No mans land – no lands man when they freely strut out into aestheticisms’ great wilderness. Is this New York or Stockholm? It is “dancy”, installation like, amusing and inventive. The worn out concept ”research” seems brushed up with an alert grasp." Margareta Sörenson – Expressen

With a light touch we explore the human condition at a time when we acted without consciousness, when our idea of self, or lack thereof, existed in a symbiotic and linear alertness of the now, breathing it in and letting it go. No mans land – no lands man lays in the undefined refined middle, simultaneously focused and unfocused, without history only geography - it is a hovering and peripheral experience rather than intense and ecstatic.
The video work for this piece is a VJ’d collage, an animated study of the energy and forces of human expressiveness. The dance and video collaborate light-heartedly to question and juxtapose our aesthetic norms.
