Internal Affairs
In a downtown office filled with desks, computers, photocopiers, binders, and filing cabinets, the audience is asked to complete some paperwork. There, they are guided through it by a cast of office workers—who are also dancers—and a boss—who is also a singer.
The paperwork becomes dramatic: forms are filled out, questionnaires are answered, you wait in absurd lines, and you chase the stamps that allow your file to move forward—toward nowhere, or perhaps toward self-knowledge.
Internal Affairs invites us to inhabit, for a while, the microcosm of an almost extinct bureaucracy, threatened by the advance of digitization, virtualization, and artificial intelligence. The piece is an immersive experience in an unconventional space, a journey that evokes the dance of relationships and hierarchies, with its own rules that once prevailed over all the priorities of the outside world, when the functioning of civic life depended almost entirely on human interaction.
