All the characters in this piece are women. Women who are driven by the desire for cognition, self-revelation and mutual understanding. The aim of the project was to search for meeting points between two independently existing forms of art, video and dance. We look for answers to how video is able to expand the expressive potentials of stage dance, by actively involving the video artist in the performance.
“Down her chest I could hear a dream teller whispering on the heart beat and the wind covering her nape softly embraced my face with her smell. I got a chill and bit her.”
