Motivaction

2017

Synopsis.

A number of tasks, addressing the parameters of moving and being moved. Jumping from motion to emotion, two performers dive in a dance of commands, wishes and desires. “The piece arrives at a strange crossroads between language and movement. Parts of speech – verbs, the active and passive voice, the subject and the object – intersect with another kind of enunciation:

the subject as body; action and animus; motion as material, sensation and volition. It’s a fascinating journey – articulated, layered, highly punctuated…” Sanjoy Roy, Review, Certamen Coreográfico Madrid
