SALVADOR DELULU

"Salvador Delulu" presents a contemporary, imagined artist who, as part of an eccentric creative method,
falls into a deep sleep to visualize his paintings while dreaming in a state of delusion.
Performance is inspired by the Spanish artist Salvador Dalí, his creative method, and his paintings.
The art he created transcended the boundaries of comprehension, just as his flamboyant personality did.

To stimulate his creativity, Dalí employed a unique dream technique.
With the aid of a bowl and a key, he would awaken at the threshold of sleep and transfer his surreal visions onto canvas. This early stage of sleep, known as hypnagogia or N1, lasts only a few minutes before falling into a deep sleep.
In N1, you can imagine shapes, colors, and even dream fragments before your eyes, yet still hear sounds coming from your surroundings. Salvador described his work as "paranoid-critical" and sought to create images
that disrupt the logical order of reality. These were often grotesque visions, hovering between reality, dream,
fantasy, and hallucination—suspended beyond rational order.

“Delulu” is a slang term derived from the English word *delusional*.
"Salvador Delulu" is thus a choreographic inspiration of both the artist’s persona and works,
as well as of our own dreams and delusions—transformed into movement and structure.​
