Evolving around hardcore and pornography, camouflage, speed and breaking, this performance questions both the hard and the core in hardcore techno and points to its text(ure) and potential. The performer dances, speaks, rests, feels, occupies, dances, dances, dances and remains in hardcore. At 200 beats per minute hardcore is techno on amphetamines. It is rave gone crazy. It is the sound of the underdog, What if dancing so fast can be a way to appropriate speed not for being more productive, but for the opposite: Speed becomes a way to increase sensations and to elude control.
