DIT
Sensorial digital experience, in which you explore the different meanings of touch, while being on your own
With the online project DIT (Digital Intimate Theater), The100Hands questions the foundation of all its work, in which ‘the value of the physical live encounter with yourself, the other and the environment’ is always recognized and examined.
Together with filmmaker Eva Sjerps they investigate how digital theater at home can still evoke the intimacy of the live encounter. Not as a replacement for live contact, but as a stimulating exercise to play with it.
The first edition of DIT is specifically made to be watched at home, on your own and at a time that suits you.
Whether you are quarantined, the theaters are closed, you want to have some “me-time” or just prefer to be on your own, DIT is for you.
Through the questions [...], given assignments and suggestions, my already increasingly meditative life flowed seamlessly into a dance performance. Starring my own body. - anonymous participant
I found the experience [...] warming. It brought me to emotions and memories and the desire to hold my daughters for a real and long time again. - anonymous participant
I think you just invented a new genre... very special! - anonieme deelnemer
What to expect
DIT is not made to be watched passively. Storyteller Jasper Džuki Jelen invites you to actively shape your own experience. DIT guides your attention to the sensations in your body and the meaning you give to them, to the space surrounding you, and to how emotion and the need to act surface and change over time.
Jasper invites you to explore objects in your surroundings through touch, but also to get off your chair and subject parts of your room to a tactile investigation. Stories and questions provide these actions with a (new) meaning.
Throughout DIT you have the freedom to determine how you want to interact with it. The way DIT is built supports a relaxed, calm state of mind, from which you can experience the phenomenon of "touch" with curiosity.
