_plex
_plex is a solo performance inspired by Plexure (1993), a visionary album by Canadian composer John Oswald that sliced and reassembled over 1,000 pop hits into a rapid-fire, disorienting sound collage.
Created at the dawn of the digital age, Plexure anticipated a world of algorithmic remixing, TikTok scroll rhythms, and hyper-personalized content long before they became cultural default settings.
More than three decades later, its chaotic density feels eerily prophetic – an early echo of today’s media noise. _plex picks up this signal and renders the sounds physical, transforming sonic overload into a choreography of fractured focus, emotional whiplash, and fleeting recognition.
Choreographer and dancer Alma Toaspern doesn’t merely follow the music – she conducts it through the body. Each gesture becomes a navigational tool in a storm of stimuli – a physical remix that mirrors how our attention is pulled, seduced, and splintered by the velocity of media culture. In this way, the work doesn’t just translate sound into motion – it choreographs hearing, shaping what we perceive, and how.
A hybrid, high-intensity work for the age of media vertigo – where every flicker of recognition is already part of a system, and nothing holds still for long.
