A young Dutch dance collective, Trevoga, brings its world-touring show 11 3 8 7 [Rebody] to Budapest (Budapest), channeling Gen Z anxieties into a fever dream onstage. The performers embody three avatar-like figures, as if stepping out of an AI-generated TV show or a haunted dream, pulling the audience into a world where glossy online fantasies crash against an increasingly hostile reality. Think shimmering illusions, glitchy identities, and a creeping sense that the internet’s neon wonderland has teeth.
Avatars Versus Reality
The trio navigates a shifting terrain of screens, signals, and raw bodies, exposing what happens when curated selves and offline wounds collide. Their language is part club, part cry for help—shapes that swivel from hyper-virtuosity to shutdown in a beat—capturing the digital sinkhole where attention frays and dread multiplies. The choreography builds a tense conversation between spectacle and survival, asking what remains when the filter breaks.
When and Where
Catch it at Merlin on October 31 and November 1, presented in collaboration.
