Language: English, with Spanish interview recording
The artist embarked on an autobiographical exploration of her inter/corporeal connections and the transformative power of bodily experiences.
Together with the audience, the artist delves into the research process, navigating a pathway rich with notes, memories, and imprints, collected from her encounters with Spanish choreographer Eva Bertomeu over the years.
The intercorporeal imprints of her body becomes the conduit for provoking diverse questions and exploring thoughts of diverse nature: interplay between textual and corporeal elements, dynamics of authorship and choreographic agency, inter(textual/corporeal)ity, the lasting impact of otherness, deconstruction of choreography, revisitation endeavors, and quotation in dance. Intertwining scenes of performance and lecture, the artist presents a thought-provoking array of possibilities, sharing theoretical reflections rooted in her research process.
