National Premiere
That’s Twisted is born from a profound melancholy and the difficulty of imagining a serene future for humanity. Constant uncertainty and the crises of recent years have generated a sense of paralyzing helplessness. The performance draws on pop songs from the artist’s childhood—the Party Anthems written after the stock market crash, characterized by the nihilism of the youth of those years. The “presentism” described in the lyrics, linked to YOLO culture, becomes a form of escape: the past is lost, the future uncertain, and the present—already marked by disaster—becomes the space to be lived to the fullest. These songs resonate with nostalgia for a time when these themes were not yet a source of anxiety, transforming the memory of childhood into living material for the performance. The staging unfolds as a psychedelic and monstrous journey into a present in constant search of meaning, a collage of affections, memories, and sensations in which dissociation becomes a mode of resistance and a tool for living in the here and now.
