Still from Simona Žemaitytė 'A̶l̶l̶ ̶Y̶o̶u̶ Need Is Love' (2022)

Centrala presents, A̶l̶l̶ ̶Y̶o̶u̶ need is love by Simona Žemaitytė followed by a live DJ set.

In the workshop-based video, Simona Žemaitytė, a Lithuinan artist, bought together five strangers from a diverse background encourgaging a stream of conversations surrounding the addictive side of love and sex. Choreographed to a complex soundtrack, Žemaitytė reflects the combination of emotions which exist alongside the issues of addiction; shame, guilt and trauma being at the forefront of this. Working closely with a composer and a choreographer, using possibilities of their bodies and voices, performers explore triggers, boundaries and guilt, that would illuminate a path to belonging and healing.

The launch of this exhibition will take place between 6-8pm.

This will be followed by a live DJ performance for the remainder of the evening from 8-11pm.
