LIVENESS ?! Act 15. / trump inauguration (marathon) event / a live performance for music ensemble VJ

a live - clash between two worlds:
The broadcast of the inauguration of the 47th president of the USA versus contemporary music.

The mediation of the ceremony – normally only to be passively consumed – functions as a live ‘score’ for an estranging performance.
The performers develop strategies to deconstruct and distort the phenomenon in real-time, transforming the transmitted liveness into a new liveness system.
As such, the performers and audience become part of the spectacle.
What does it mean to enter this danse macabre?
Are we only taking part in permanent hypnosis?
Is it possible to take critical distance and chase the banality of the momentum?
