limb limb limb

limb limb limb is a solo with many actors. A tactile soundscape which carries memories of touch is projected through four surrounding speakers. There is a shapeshifting performer, a grey figure. Are they a pile of rocks? A massage therapist? Cyborg? Dancer? There is the audience, spread out in the space, highly present in each other’s eyesight. Free to move and invited to rest. There is the architecture and materiality of the space itself, that just like the audience, is carefully investigated and treated by the performer. Between and through these elements, especially between the performer’s hands, something invisible yet highly tangible is approaching the senses. This fantasmical ever changing being is gossiping that a body, or the constructs around it, are only as solid as your fantasy allows it to be.
