With I’m Not Done, Simon Baetens creates an intense, playful performance about self-profiling, loneliness, and being in transit. For the first time, his drag alter ego Electra leaves the club and appears on the theatre stage. Electra takes the audience on a musical journey through transforming virtual and emotional landscapes. Through drag, music, video, and text, a dreamlike world emerges in which the boundaries between technology and reality can no longer be distinguished.
I’m Not Done becomes a performance like a doom scroll, in which pop music guides you through the labyrinth of the internet. A tribute to the shameless theatricality of pop concerts and the poetry of song lyrics. Can exuberance and depth go hand in hand?
