To unfold in 7 circles the irreparability of all that is the case, the self awareness, limits of reality and ways of occupying spaces.
THE 5th CIRCLE OF THE DRAGON
THE 4rd CIRCLE OF THE DRAGON
... and the desert was laughing at me
THE 3rd CIRCLE OF THE DRAGON
All that is the case.
THE 2nd CIRCLE OF THE DRAGON
The touch is the truth (Antisthenes)
The whole is always too big, elusive.
To frame the whole to understand it.
To make visible the invisible,
relevant the irrelevant.I use my hands
Not looking for, not a quest but the adventure of finding,
bumping into thingsencountering the reality
to point outI use my hands
confronting the limits
Something in the way
Singling out
Exposure
I use my handsthere is no truth to unveil more than the very fact of revealing.
In the end, die Lichtung
With no disclosure,
just one more journey
and the need to get moving to see what was always already thereTo lose yourself as lost as in the beginning and have the need to keep on moving
making decisions, cuts.
The human is the being that, bumping into things and only in this encounter, opens up to the non-thinglike. And inversely, the human is the one that, being open to the non-thinglike, is, for this very reason, irreparably consigned to things.
Non-thingness (spirituality) means losing oneself in things, losing oneself to the point of not being able to conceive of anything but things, and only then, in the experience of the irremediable thingness of the world, bumping into a limit, touching it. (This is the meaning of the word "exposure")
Giorgio Agamben "The Coming Community"
THE 1st CIRCLE OF THE DRAGON
BACKGROUNDS
To find out Why do I move the way I move in terms of memory of the body and Identity: The way I move reveals who I am.
Departing Point: Being an only child and having no siblings to play with. Life as an adventure.
Physical backgrounds:
- for 20 years playing football
- Martial Arts: Judo and Taekwondo
- Bruce Lee
- Michael Jackson
- Heroes from Hollywood movies, super hero: special powers
- Ninjas: the spy, to become invisible, to be present without revealing the presence.
Animal Metamorphosis:
- Linx
- Dragon
Male/Female:
- Female role models: growing up with a mother and a grandmother / no father
- Fantasy: to have a female body and to seduce.
Ideology of 13 years in a catholic school and 6 years of Philosophy at the University:
- The Inner space: The Concentration, state of mind, being focus, the Glow.
- The Faith: the believer, the mistic, the magic
- The Master, the Preacher, the Teacher, the Philosopher
- The Sacrifice: the gift
It´s time for a Solo, the partner is me
SOLO June-December 2009
Rehearsals at Gelber Raum/Tanzfabrik and Milchhof in Berlin and Premiere in Amsterdam at the SNDO
Created specifically for ONE person as audience (max, 3 persons)THE CHALLENGE: to maintain the engagement only through body movement/image.Transparency in the presence. To present myself in the space.
THE GIFT: to display myself for their pleasure. I offer my presence. Everything I do, I do it for you. The guest activates my performativity.
THE ATTENTION: in the way hipnosis works. How to become a sign that you can not avoid interpreting every single second.
THE GAZE: to project lines, directions, presenting the space, opening the space. But also to intimidate. I am exposing myself but I watch how you experience it.
THE TOUCH:
- Touching with the eyes: the distance is what makes this happen, the tension, the desire.
- With my hand I touch your image.
- I touch myself knowing that you are watching me: my body is my primary reality, self seduction, intimicy.
THE FORM: being visually formal and precise: to become oneself an attractive hipnotic image.
