After Party looks at the sociological prespective of the feast according to which a party appears as an extra-ordinary segments of time that functions as ritual to reassert and to reframe time within collectivities. Starting from the performative ambient of a given after, the work proposes an investigation on the nature of fragmentation and the deconstruction of memory in dance, speeches and dramaturgies of three bodies by setting up a glamourous ruined landscape of a party. Placing itself in between a durational performance and a theatre piece for stage, the show inhabits an endless and synchronic timing by offering a meditation of the becoming of an action.
