Trevoga is a collective that defines itself as a chaotic intersection of performers who move against the current: dre amers, doomers and aliens drawn toward another affect. Searching for an ev en more free-form methodology of peer-to-peer theatre production, Trevoga settles into Para-siting to develop Softrot’s upcoming solo performance 0000-00-00, made in collaboration with Neda Ruzheva, Manshee Zheng and music producer Damiaan Steyn.

Through heavily processed vocals, comfort clothes, soft hexes, and disorienting dramaturgy, 0000-00-00 captures Softrot mid-molt. Like an insect whose new exoskeleton hasn’t hardened, her world is unstable, suspended between incomplete images, wor st-case scenarios and everyday rituals stuck on repeat. Her softness means she can only move wrongly.

Inflected by Trevoga’s fascination with grim aesthetics and algorithmic alienation, the work turns this suspended state into a condition rather than an exception. What happens when the act of becoming hardens into logistical obligation, when transformation cease s to promise renewal and becomes continuous labor instead? 

0000-00-00 doesn’t fear the end of the world, but a world that never quite ends. Productive exhaustion, curdled into optimized deterioration. Where every attempt at repair extends what is already wearing away. Simply continuing because there is no protocol for stopping.

The process o f the performance will remain accessible to visitors throughout the exhibi tion during opening hours. The public programme unfolds through two guided encounters Rotmaxxing Home and Rot-in-Progress before c ulminating in the first public try-out of the performance, Try-Rotting : 0000-00-00.

Nina Pushkareva—Softrot —is an Amsterdam-based multidisciplinary artist and graduate of the Academ y for Theatre and Dance (Modern Theatre Dance). Working across movement, m usic, fashion, and sculpture, she approaches the body as both image and or ganism, caught between decay and hallucinated continuity; reconstructed fr om references, preserved and consumed.

Neda Ruzheva —co-founder of dance collective Trevoga—graduated from the School for New Dance Development before continuing their studies at the Sandberg Institut e. Their practice blends academic rigor with subcultural grit, fusing theo ry, sculpture, physicality and industrial sound to probe the commodificati on of desire and longing buried beneath digital fatigue.

Man shee Zheng (b. 2002, Beijing) is an artist based in Amsterdam, wo rking across installation, fashion objects and autofictional text. Her pra ctice orbits spectacle-driven desire and the tension between sterile surfa ces and psychological violence. She constructs controlled, seductive scene s of exhibitionistic hiding—simultaneously hypervisible and hollowed out.< /p> BEGIN:VALARM ACTION:DISPLAY DESCRIPTION:Para-siting: 0000-00-00 TRIGGER:-PT1H END:VALARM END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
