Danielle Imara and The Appearances, 2020, 1:00
During lockdown Imara made regular window appearances to post as looped videos on Instagram. Imitating the theatre that we can’t perform in these works express the inherent traped-ness of lockdown. Here the appearances are combined, their natural soundtracks making a jerky music, and imitating a gig that cannot happen live.

Brener and Imara pace their rooms, trapped indoors. On different sides of the Atlantic they slip into each others’ realities and merge in a maelstrom of chaotic colour.
