WORLD PREMIERE: CENTER[O]POSITIVE by POLLUX (Min Yoon & Nick Dunston)

CENTER[O]POSITIVE is a performance-installation by POLLUX, a collaboration bringing together Nick Dunston, the "indispensable" New York avant-garde multi-instrumentalist (NY Times), and Min Yoon, a post-Butoh dancer whose psychophysical rituals have been funded by major institutions like NPN and Musikfonds.

CENTER[O]POSITIVE, integrates banjo-feedback and live electronics with surreal movement and visuals to transform the stage into an unstable archive of real-time variation.

POLLUX, the sound and post/ butoh dance duo of Min Yoon and Nick Dunston, performs their first evening-length work, CENTER[O]POSITIVE.

Embracing the greater sum of their interdisciplinary practice, the live feedback performance explores the (in)stabilities of memory, perceptions of shared reality, and possession and lostness at the edges of

breakage and constant renewal.

The duo’s work is informed by an improvisational, experimental, research-driven practice — in the context of an audio-visual installation/performance shaped by feedback, trails, and counterpoint. By embodying each audio source (resonant object) with ontologically related, but independently playing sonic and embodied material, the result is a

constantly developing combination of sounds that interact and fold into each other.
