The exhibition borrowed its name from Ultravox's 1984 hit, which was inspired by the existential anxiety that spread throughout the world from nuclear war, and from the last ecstatic dance that humans dance before the final doomsday. The entire exhibition is a journey towards catharsis. It contains within it elements of opening emotional dams, and the cork extracted from the bottle releases together with it the complex and multidimensional moments of exaltation and disillusionment. In the atmosphere of a cinematic amusement park - industrial neon lamps glow in magenta, materials reflect a mischievous or abysmal reflection, a swirling sound, a disco ball scatters lights and severed limbs on TV screens. Bustling public spaces in their essence meet with the closest physical arena - voice, skin, body parts. He uses his body to talk about the limits of his existence, asking to be seen and create his place within a social order that is not tailored to his measurements.
