Still we play it
2025





"Still we play it" portrays a person in the process of emotional repair after the loss of a significant relationship. The performer finds solace in everyday objects, the surrounding sound and repetition. In this performance inner and outer instability, sculpture like compositions, urge to move, desire to turn inwards, urge to disappear and desire to be seen walks hand in hand.

The performance is created using elements and tools of contemporary dance and performance art and uses the body as a medium to research vulnerability, mental imbalance and inner and outer gaze on a personal and societal level.

Premiered at Césure in Paris (FR) as part of the performing arts programme of Avis de Tempête Raccords festival in 2025.
