Program

Deep Inside is a performance by Ania Nowak that plunges into the theme of ecstasy — divine, bodily, and communal. The artist intertwines the energy of house music with Baroque poetry and religious iconography, creating an intense, multi-layered experience.

In Deep Inside Ania Nowak looks at ecstasy. She juxtaposes house music and its lyrics with Baroque poetry and sculpturesque depictions of divine ecstasy. Visual references to Jan Lorenzo Bernini’s Blessed Ludovica Albertoni overlap with language of desire and longing for God, the lover and the community building energy of house music. Nowak uses repetition, rhythm and content of both house music and Baroque poetry to search for collective body and soul in times of social divisions and military conflicts. She listens to voices that drove house rhythms to summon many long forgotten black singers, often marginalised due to their gender and race. Nowak speaks with the ghosts of those voices, honouring them as leaders and partners. For memory and ecstasy.
