Pere Faura

The iconic line dance from “Saturday Night Fever”, danced to the sounds of the Bee Gees’ “Night Fever”, has become Hollywood’s most famous representation of the world of Disco. In “Sweet Fever”, a group of dancers performs this choreography for hours – from a faithful execution to variations set to electronic music by DJ Amaranta and complemented by VJ Joan Escofet’s video footage. A ritual and ecstasylike trance ensues, with visions of the night- and party-life that explore the continual search for instant gratification. Between joy and exhaustion, the emblematic choreography unfolds reflections about the necessities of our fever nights and the effort it takes to orchestrate moments of pleasure and the space of freedom that we call Disco. This version of “Sweet Fever” will be produced specifically for the concluding night of Foreign Affairs and will last from dusk till dawn. Spectators are invited to saunter in and out as they please, to watch the dancers in a relaxed chill-out environment, or to join them in the dance.
