The Other’s Body
(Performance)
„Language is a skin: I rub my language against the other. It is as if I had words instead of fingers, or fingers at the tip
of my words. My language trembles with desire.”
- Roland Barthes. A Lover’s Discourse: Fragments (1977)
Stepping into a liminal zone of convergence where time slows down and the tactile counter of the present moving body enters into the foreground. In an age of ceaseless acceleration and constant change, the performance "The Other’s Body" (2023) intends to explore the themes of slowness, repetition, and transformation through the pretext of a tongue. The performance invites the observer to witness the transformation of embodied forms, reflecting on the articulations and muscle tone of a tongue. Actions, gestures and movements all become a series of recurring motifs. Each articulation signifies a trace, a variation from the past that pushes the boundaries of the visceral and ephemeral present.
