Interplay delves into the intricate interplay between emotions and society, exploring the commodification of emotions and how they are choreographed by cultural, technological and economic forces. Building upon previous investigations into commodification of happiness, fear and love,  this project now shifts its focus towards nostalgia, focusing and reflecting on the insights gained from past phases to inform this new exploration. The project departs from two points: firstly, the effects of  mass media and technology on our experience of emotions(love, fear,) and secondly emotions as a political alternative. Through performance-based inquiries, Interplay seeks to uncover the ways in which emotions are choreographed by external forces, while also probing their potential as tools for understanding and navigating societal shifts.

Interplay is a project supported by FELD/LAB, an initiative financed by the Goethe-Institut in Portugal and in partnership with the Portuguese platform Coffeepaste.
