Performance Not smooth or grace-ful, ca. 60 -75 min, 2014
Not smooth or grace-ful, is the result of a research concerning Trichophilia (hair fetishism) and the physicality related with it. This piece reveals shaded and parasite (private?) actions amplified and repeated until its limit, forcing the spectator to question the piece but also himself.
The performers drift, during the all piece, between the fetishist and the object of affection, between man and object. Creating a ritual within our physicality, the spectator will witness the transformation of each performer’s impulses into actions.
