TREVOGA: 11 3 8 7
An artificially generated TV show, an eerie dream after a late-night doom scroll, or perhaps something even more uncanny, 11 3 8 7 is a performance inspired by the lavish fantasies we fabricate online and their conflicting relation with the increasingly hostile reality around us.
Traversing from targeted ads to tailored newsreels, vlogs, gaming streams, and lifestyle influencers, the piece takes virtual representations of “real” human interactions far into the unfamiliar - similar to how an AI bot distorts content when prompted. It fills the eyes with polished imagery, yet the packaging is hollow.
Trevoga, an emerging Amsterdam-based dance collective characterised by bold, undisciplined artistic experimentation and a soft spot for dystopian imagination, shows in 11 3 8 7 that behind the glossy appearance of its fictional avatars lurks an unsettling atmosphere almost impossible to grasp. Like wandering alone through a deserted shopping mall, it haunts its viewers with the chills of a cold, manufactured absence.
