PREMIERE – 4 SOLOS (live performance)
BIRD is a series of solo movement propositions where we see the quirky bridging of two anatomies – that of human rootedness and of avian flight. As the performers, one by one, begin to study their newly-estranged bodies, they each experience a metamorphosis of sorts. Walking and flying begin to stand for two different kinds of consciousness which collide and call each other names. And in this fragile, almost absurd doubleness we may begin to look at the surveyor and the surveyed as that which co-exists in the male body, beyond the discourses of sexuality and power.
