Sinopsys
Time is suspended between one moment and another. During the stretching of this time-lapse, the body becomes weary, it empties out, dissolves its outlines and limits. The silence, the vanishing and the inactivity settle in, although not passively, indeed, as a movement of resistance. A zone of uncertainties, breakdowns and vacuous — beyond time, beyond debuts, beyond end.

“To the extent that the body insists on exhausting itself with gestures, in running slowly, in being in an amorphous state, without appearing liquid or solid, this insistence finally reveals the power of impotence, it shatters our perception as a discreet but violent stroke, from which one can’t defend oneself. It is an entropic crisis that invades life and transforms it into finite matter. “
Thiago Alixandre – Dancer
