Performance Marina Orlova

Human.VPN/someplace_else, 2026, dance-graffiti performance (try out)

Human.VPN explores the distinction between a person’s emotional and physical location, offering a critical examination of the politics of digital mapping. Two dancers, Marina Orlova and Asya Deinekina, interact with a projected digital map of the world, tracing physical and digital paths through it as if moving through a comic strip. Described as a ‘collective geography self-study’, the piece suggests that shared geopolitical disorientation — and not-knowing — can become a source of togetherness.
