An Ongoing Song is a piece of visually and physically conceived theatre.
It takes a form of a duet in order to tackle a relationship of a body with HIV virus. By the reiteration and reinvestment of inherited performative gestures Szymon Adamczak and Billy Mullaney juggle the complexities of human relationships, risk-taking, danger, desire, vulnerability, self-infliction, dependency, loss of innocence, morbid humor, and affection.
Szymon Adamczak is a Polish artist, writer and dramaturg, working with theatre and performance, based in Amsterdam. He studied art history and philosophy at the University of Poznań and graduated from DAS Theatre in Amsterdam. Previously he has been serving as the dramaturg and programmer of National Stary Theatre in Kraków under the artistic direction of Jan Klata (2015-2017). He advocates for ambiguity, sincerity and poetry in proposing projects that serves as means of reflection on the complexity of contemporary living.
