Means Without an End
.
“…the topography created in a crumple and torn handkerchief in the depth of a pocket, where metric linear, time and space are collapsed into an unexpected topography of proximities and distances, where entirely different connections are made and events pulled into surprising intimacies and astonishing distances…”
Michel Serres
.
‘Means Without an End’ is a one to one “performance/event” where a single member of the audience and the performer meet in a space and with a card game and the unique physicality of body contact, aims at discovering an infra sensual language that our reciprocal touch creates.
The piece is an attempt to understand the structure and possibilities of “Touch” by exploring personal/social distances and proximities, in an event, which involves interactive physical exchange in order to experience, investigate and question conventions of the body boundaries and the politics of contact improvisation.
