Boring (Boing!)

A performance by Immediate Medium featuring Esteban Arboleda, J.J. Lind, Guy Penini, Maki Takenouchi and Liz Vacco.

boring (boing!) is a performance piece examining youth culture, loneliness, escapism, self-destruction, and the pursuit of the unattainable ideal.

The piece incorporates elements of performance art, improvisational dance, and preexisting and original music to construct a world of young people obsessed with game playing, role-playing and risk-taking.

Performers obsessively play drinking games, sing, build towers, play video games and recite love letters, all the while performing activities which make these deceptively simple tasks impossible to sustain.

Drawing inspiration from competitive athletics, college drinking culture and the murders of Jose and Kitty Menendez by their teenage sons, boring (boing!) imagines a world of young people indulging in compulsive behaviors that ultimately drive them towards (self-) destruction.
