THE NOTHING | Part of the Here and Now Festival
In 2018, Diana Lozano, Creative Producer for CircX was commissioned to create a solo performance piece for the Miami Light Projects' yearly Here and Now Festival.
​
This being the second commission for the Here and Now Festival, (the first one being in 2007), Diana took a detour from her usual colourful cabaret-style productions to explore a deeper and darker side.
​
In this introspective piece, she explores death and our collective ideas about the afterlife or lack thereof. Interviewing people from 6 different Faiths, she examines how their cultural and religious upbringing influence how they imagine consciousness after death.
​
Incorporating Butoh Dance, Aerial Silks and glass walking, she performs against a backdrop of video interviews juxtaposed with scientific journal narrations as well as celestial and graveyard imagery.
