Sospiri

A mythical opera unfolds in six brief hallucinatory acts, to reveal visions of a troupe of youths in medieval dress, leaving bite marks on skin covered in petroleum jelly, exchanging units of breath and forming the links of a human perfume. With every action the air becomes denser, building towards its inevitable expiration. Lukáš Hofmann expresses himself primarily through performance, and video. In his situations, he creates curated communities of actors and environments in which he induces a focused atmosphere and a dense dynamic.
