Data Ocean Theatre/Tragedy and the Goddexxes

Vincent Roumagnac presents the culmination of Data Ocean Theatre/Tragedy & the Goddexxes on Kiasma stage. This final act combines the black-box version of the solo show exhibited at Titanik Gallery (Turku) in November 2022 with new works created specifically for this year’s Moving in November.

Tragedy & the Goddexxes is the intial phase of Roumagnac’s interdisciplinary project, Data Ocean Theatre, which explores the intersections of myths, new media, climate emergency, and the transformation of seas and oceans. Over the past two years, the project has evolved, focusing on rising sea levels, big data growth, and their emotional impacts.

This first part of Data Ocean Theatre, Tragedy & the Goddexxes, reimagines tragedy through a queered and techno-animist perspective. Drawing from Greek tragedy’s structure, marine mythology, and “technology-as-monster” narratives, the final staging introduces new works featuring mythological sea creatures and imaginary rituals.

Data Ocean Theatre emerged from a dialogue with the Finnish Meteorological Institute Marine Research Unit and is currently a postdoctoral artistic research project led by Roumagnac at Tutke-Performing Arts Research Centre (Theatre Academy/Uniarts Helsinki).

The performance is part of Moving in November festival 2.-12.11.2023.
