Contemporary Art Centre together with the <\/b>FrostBite<\/i><\/b> team is pleased to invite you to the performance act followed by a club night on April 29th. All proceedings collected from entry tickets will go directly to the artists, musicians and other creatives involved in this otherwise unpaid creative labor.<\/b><\/p>\n <\/p>\n FrostBite<\/span><\/i> is a performative act on infantile games, nurture and role-play within an aestheticised universe, where naivete is an advantage. Portraying empathy-induced characters that shift between juvenile and mature roles. A performance situated in a frame under the logic of the \u201chouse\u201d game.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Three performers (+ a <\/span>root<\/span><\/i>) that seem to seek thrill by varying between embodying different stages of human development: <\/span>The Infant<\/span><\/i>, <\/span>The Child<\/span><\/i>, <\/span>The Adolescent<\/span><\/i>,<\/span> The Adult<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n These stages are signified with symbolic skin scarrings that each performer possesses:<\/span><\/p>\n The God\u2019s Eye<\/span><\/i> – Creator energy – <\/span>The Infant<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n The Teardrop<\/span><\/i> – The gift of consciousness – <\/span>The Child<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n The Spiral <\/span><\/i>– The disruptive energy signifying the process – <\/span>The Adolescent<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n The Doughnut<\/span><\/i> – The end product, shape in its final form – <\/span>The Adult<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n <\/p>\n They are bound to stage numerous circumstances that revolve around parenting the object of care, which fluctuates between the performers, and a bizarrely deformed river root, that they have chosen to supervise as their own child.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The dynamic between the performers constantly morphs into new dimensions, as they find themselves restless in needing to fantasize new realities to navigate.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n A score that can function only through utterly committing to the delusion.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Biographies<\/b><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Anna Ansone<\/b> is a Riga based visual artist who graduated from the Department of Stage Design at the Art Academy of Latvia. Her background lies in costume and set design for video works and stage.

His work combines such media as scenography, video, installation, performance and text.
