In Lucid Dreams We Dance
Rebecca Salvadori and Felice Moramarco
In Lucid Dreams We Dance is an ongoing multidisciplinary project celebrating independent clubbing and rave culture’s ability to foster gathering and exchange. Starting from the experiences of protagonists and professionals of the London club and party scenes, the project investigates the role of music in creating and consolidating deep connections within the physical and relational space of the club, where time and space collapse and expand simultaneously.
For the first episode of In Lucid Dreams We Dance, The sun has No Shadow by Rebecca Salvadori will be screened and presented in conversation with Felice Moramarco.
Curated by Jael Arazi and Clara Rodorigo.

Dark Advances: ‘Affect Aliens’ and Revolutionary Despair is a multimedia installation and live performance event tuning into the hum, tremble, or murmur by which everything now rises to the surface. Not a human song, but the perlocutionary utterance of what Stefano Harney and Fred Moten speak of when they write of the movement of the earth against the world—an underground, black rhythm, chant or riot, that one “can’t join from the outside.” What does it want? Nothing, except perhaps to unground the ground—to reveal “the hole in the ontological project,” as R.A. Judy has it—by unearthing the bones that fire our great toxic machinery.
Dark Advances devotes its breath to this cosmic piece of anti-music, and to practices aimed at its amplification. To those ‘affect aliens’ who, faced with the ways of the world, promote neither the promise of utopia, nor despondent resignation, but the world’s collapsing: ‘unworlding’, or what one might describe as the ambivalent third way of revolutionary despair.
