Ferran is a young man who still lives with his parents, but for a couple of years he spent the days in the basement of the house. He has managed to convince everyone to make a living being ‘Gamer’ and that he achieves money playing video games, when he really gets it by doing porn videos and through sexual calls with customers. Its main channel is Onlyfans, but everything starts with Dirtyroulette. This is the argument of ‘La Carn’, a performance by Lluís Garau (Mallorca, 1997) that covers dance and the United States with live remote sex. For this work there are two spectators: those present at the theater and the users of the Dirtyroulette website, which will interact with the artist live. Its premiere arrives in Euskadi in the room the foundry of Bilbao with two passes this Saturday 22 and Sunday, March 23.
As Garau acknowledges, this story was born as a result of the obsession of an entire generation through social networks and to meet people through the Internet. “Young people are a bit addicted to this type of encounters, to these types of relationships that are sporadic and exclusive to the Internet. Dirtyroulette is a fortuitous encounter on the Internet, a video call that is curling around the world. If one of the people who leave you like, you stay in the video call, if not, you pass to the next one. That is generating a flow of people to whom you can meet interact.
Like his character that puts in the performance price to his own body in real time. However, the public does not see who is in the video call to safeguard their identity. “My only will as an artist is that the people who are in that video call never reveal their identity, because for me it is very important that it is a safe space and a space of intimacy in which no one is exposed against their will,” details the artist.
“Working in this work I have noticed in the solitude in which we live. Making it I have entered the loops of a lot of loneliness, connected with everyone online, but only in the room of my house. The objective of the project is to show how through a platform dedicated mostly to the virtual sex you can feel like a piece of meat, but it is also Recognize.
About young people and pornography, Garau acknowledges that it is an issue that he likes to address in his shows, but he does not like to enter whether he affects negatively or not. “I do not enter into judgments of whether pornography is good or bad. It is true that he builds the sexual imaginary of the people who consume it and mostly the young people who do it, it conditions us for life. For me it is very important to speak it because it is a condition that we have for consuming that type of products that are very far from reality,” he says.
The naturalness and spontaneity provided by the interactions between the character of Garau and the anonymous users of the Internet allow ‘the carn’ faithfully portray what happens in those uncurrent spaces and, even, stigmatized, in which sexual, emotional and even vital links are created with strangers. In this way, the assembly blurs the boundaries between the public and the private and between the live and the remote. From the organization they warn that due to their sexual content, the work is not recommended for children under 18.
