SENESCENCE

“Everyone wants to live forever, but nobody wants to grow old” - Jonathan Swift (Irish writer)

SENESCENCE

An artistic exploration of the contrasts between physical possibilities and contemporary torture. A work about the dark side of perfection.


SENESCENCE is Camiel's attempt to to counteract its transience and find an answer to it society's ideal of feasibility. Getting older is an inevitable part of it life. Camiel about this: 'As an artist I notice increasingly how my body is failing me starts to let up. The failing functioning of my body is a constant reminder of the inescapable reality: I'm getting older. I feel recalcitrant, but I will do it anyway have to accept.' SENESCENCE will be an evening-filling experience, in which the audience identifies with one man who cannot do his own transformation accept until he has to. His struggle and acceptance also serve as a mirror for the public, who will also have to deal with a body that ages. Visitors sit around and experience the performance up close. Without a fourth wall. Grand, but intimate and confrontational.
