CritiCC researcher Darío Doña-Falcón will be reading an essay as part of the "Què pot, l'after?" act within the BIVAC festival at the CCCB. This year's edition of the BIVAC will focus on the idea of the after, both in its meaning as an afterparty and its meaning as what is to come. Dancing, desire, evasion and encountering the other are the starting point to try to collectively answer what happens when everything ends, what comes after the after.

What can the afterparty do? (Què pot, l'after?)

With Ana Gorostizu, Erik Forsberg, Darío Doña-Falcón (she), Anna Climent, Santiago Colorado, Jayce, LANAV and just claudia (Canino FM)

What can the afterparty do? This is the question that opens the festival. And it does so with the intention of preparing the ground—the party, but not just that. Because yes: afterwards is the party—and what comes after the party—, but it is also the excuse for thinking about what it means for things to end, how to live endings, from what stance, and with whom.

It’s the starting point for thinking about the ideal, escapism and partying itself, three concepts that are embraced by philosopher Ana Gorostizu, playwright and doctor Erik Forsberg and researcher Darío Doña-Falcón. Each of them has prepared a text that, on stage, becomes the interior monologue of three dancing bodies, with Jayce, Santiago Colorado and Anna Climent. With music by Canino FM.
