One flight, one emerging podcast, one shared hallucination. Performance Apocalypse Deluxe explores the phenomenon of digital narcissism and the fragmentation of attention in the post-internet era. Maddie & Skye, protagonists of the podcast The Madness of Two, guide us in the role of “stewardesses of the end” through a space where the apocalypse is a mere aesthetic accessory and crisis is fuel for branding. Through the layering of the podcast format, dance, and live-stream, the work reflects a state of collective psychosis, a shared delusion in which capitalism meets the crisis of intimacy and masculinity. Flight FYP-00 embodies the contrast between the fatigue of the human body and the relentless dictate of algorithmic entertainment. It is a moment of realization that in “apocalypse deluxe,” no emergency brake exists.
Flight attendants: Madina Makhmetova, Khanh Ly Nguyen, Melanie Mork, Daniel Altera, Kateřina Hulínská, Amálie Cuplová, Oliver Zabystrzan
