NO ID REPRESENTES ME

• 

Work in progress  No ID Represents Me (Premiere) DOCK 11, Berlin, 2016 raises questions such as: is it possible for a body to knowlege? Where did we come from? What time are we living in? Are we drag characters of this time and are we going to break away from this existential loop?

A mirage opens from a compulsory displacement/ shift of the ego from the inner self, when the experience is gone. The inner self starts a journey back to where it had never left before. Infinite, everything and nothing are now accepted as dialogue by this ultra conscious body.

The artist is nude or not (it depends of the rules of the space), shifting from one position to another in between the public with holding a mirror in front of her face she reflects the light from the spotlight on the public. All movements are very slow and remain an urge for new ritual. The public can interact with the performer while reflecting itself on the dirty mirror or touching the body of the artist.

 

Hello.

Please.

Sorry.

I don´t have too much time.

This is the first time I have the chance of showing myself.

I write in the dark.

You have never seen me because I do not exist.

I do offer my time to give you illusions.

There is no way back when you write in the dark.

What to correct if nothing has ever existed?

Still, my hands move trying to affirm that I have tried to explain the unexplainable.

Come closer, I don´t have so much time.

Touch my belly button.

Is that proof that we have been born?

I am nothing.

Sometimes we can be seen.

Every single clack so presious when I am.

I can sleep.

The question was.
