Gazing acts
It all stems from a personal questioning that is directly related to the privilege of representation: What is a body? What bodies do we consider fit to be looked at? What intentions guide our gaze? This piece is conceived almost as a phenomenological experience that consists of making a body (some bodies) appear; an experiment that offers the viewing public the possibility of losing themselves in the darkness. This intentionality is articulated on stage thanks to tools borrowed from movement, contemporary puppetry, and image construction.
