Metamo in Dissonance is a transdisciplinary performance created by Elina Crespi and Lucie Göckel. In their work, the two artists explore the mechanisms of cognitive dissonance, identifying it as the focal point of our personal and collective contradictions.
Metamo is a drawn character. He comes to life in front of the audience's eyes in a laboratory where two operators construct his environment, guide his choices, and observe his reactions. Throughout his journey of discovery, he encounters various situations that put his convictions to the test.
Through this story, Metamo in Dissonance explores the mechanisms of cognitive dissonance : that state of tension arising when our actions conflict with our convictions. Blending drawing, cello, vocals, physical theatre, object theatre, animation, computer-generated sound, and video projection, the performance creates a space where reality and illusion constantly interact.
