Evocative and powerful, a sophisticated and minimal performance for sound incarnate and sounding bodies. The work is a physical score generated through the use of a sensitive sound environment applied to the performance. Messages from philosophy, poetry and literature intersect around the body, intimacy and relationship, touch and detach, eros and thanatos, human and divine. The performance reads and dances Jean-Luc Nancy and among the others Jean-Luc Nancy, Nietzsche, Nijinski and others. A nude scene, a number of microphones in a circle on piles of books, two bodies interact in a dramaturgy built through signs and actions on scene, multiplying the layers of meanings, merging conceptual and dramatic.
