Les limites infinies de la peau – installation-performance

  • Duration : 120 minutes

    Les limites infinies de la peau unfolds in the format of an installation-performance designed for museum spaces, art galleries, and multipurpose venues.

    Using vivariums—transparent tanks on the stage—two dancers reveal their naked forms, exposing both an intimacy we often keep to ourselves and one we are desperate to share. Music, light, and movement converge, revealing a microcosm. In a literal and figurative sense, the intention behind the piece is to confine the subjects, and to strip away their natural habitat, habits, and preconceived relationships in a physical environment as unique as it is demanding. The two bodies sway gently and grow restless in the transparency of the vessels soon to become their homes. What connections can be established between ourselves, others, and our environment? Can our bodies become porous vectors that dissolve the boundaries of our flesh?

    This performative installation grants the audience the freedom to wander through the space between the tanks where the performers are immersed, and the video projections by Robin Pineda Gould, enhancing the immersive dimension of the artwork and opening up new perspectives on moving bodies.
