…fragments of a love language…
…the gaze – act of looking burdened with eagerness or desire – in and outside of the stage…
…I could talk about love and desire the whole year, but the only thing I can hope for is just to catch its conception glimpses, formulas, unexpected expressions…
…love does not exclude war, war does not exclude peace…
…I am “a ball of iritated matter”. I have no skin (exept for carreses)…
…I am not favourable to the game: not just that the game constantly threatens with possibility to touch some of my most sensitive spots, but everything that the world finds entertaining – to me it seems fatal…
…in which part of the body opposite to me I should read my own truth?…
…I take over on myself abjudication of courage, that is, abjudication of morality…
…I experience the world around me as a general hysteria…
This choreographic research, an essay on David Lynch’s cult Tvshow „Twin Peaks“, refers interest for connections between language philosophy and body language, practices of looking and relations between spectatorship, power and knowledge. Inside of a new framework film directing structures and search for specific time-space relations between the movie cuts and choreographic methods continue to be a special layer of interest of the author, started in solo project “Something to do with death”.
Physicality of performers is affected by different approaches to timing, props, use of voice and sounds, and different emotional states.
The product is a labyrinth where two performers and a choreographer get lost over and over again between leftovers of their experiences…
