Based on Caryl Churchill’s 2012 play of the same name and the music of Japanese composer Tōru Takemitsu, love + information is an investigation of dissociation and numbness in the modern age.
Late capitalism has allowed individuals in the west to live in comfort with instant satisfaction, while also giving them access to all of the world's information including the suffering of millions of people. This creates a disconnect between the perception of suffering and the physical realities of hunger, war, lack of clean drinking water etc.
Movement artist Alli Carry, guided by Takemitsu’s music, explores a body feeling increasing discomfort and finding increasingly violent means to rid itself of it.
