Ĭichti@ is an interactive live/cyber dance performance and installation, where your senses are exposed to an ecstatic, climatic, orgiastic encounter with our extended bodies. Addressing the objectification and oppression that society puts on the body, together, the artists use the power of dance to fight, liberate, and heal. Their movements are translated through a vaginal EMG muscle sensor, which then activates the installation and affects lights and visuals within the environment. The ritual is a celebration of the nourishing power of the sun, where the sensual force of its rays is channeled through our pelvic floors. As a viewer, you become part of a sensorial journey that transcends our physical, spiritual, and digital worlds.

For the ritual, Holubowska recomposed one of Mala Herba’s songs Vesnianka. It is a ritualistic spring song from the region of Polesie, summoning the spring and waking up nature.
