Primaries is an interdisciplinary performance-screening that explores colour as an active force shaping perception, behaviour, and relational dynamics. This 75-minute sensory experience guides audiences through the full colour wheel, blending monochromatic film with live performance. Three animations — Yellow, Red, and Blue — anchor the work, while performers respond to the transitional colour-field states that connect each film. As the space becomes flooded with shifting hues, the chromatic environment shapes mood, provokes emotional turns, and influences both individual and collective presence. Performers absorb, resist, or amplify these states, revealing how colour can harmonise bodies in space or bring them into subtle friction. Primaries invites audiences into a live, continually evolving relationship with colour.
