GOOD VIBES ONLY (the great effort) brings to the stage a body radically exposed to hyperstimulation.

A human being – inevitably a performer – acts and is acted upon in an endless scroll of viral dances: “ballets” that exploded on social media, brief fragments of iconic choreographies selected live from a constantly evolving archive built around the concepts of “trend” and “craze.”

What emerges is an unstable body-catalogue, a surface that scrolls and is scrolled, a battlefield between flesh and data, the visceral and the virtual.
The second chapter in the GOOD VIBES ONLY trilogy, the piece investigates scrolling as an action that reflects the essence of the present moment.
