It is a performance about the trauma that future brings before us by the very fact that it is to come, as is the next step, as is the next corner, and what is it that awaits us behind it?
This performance is about me, about her, about the edge that separates and binds us, about our encounter which allows me to examine the intentions of her as other, just as she examines my own, this is a performance of the uncertainty that dealing with another always implies, that is, it is about the edge that surrounds us, on stage, in the street, at the station, the edge that protects us and, at the same time, exposes us, it is about the reasons and ways we employ to traverse it and how this crossing, one we could also call touch, changes, encourages, disturbs and instills fear, this is a performance, just like many other performances in this time of fear, about fear itself, about mistrust, about sinister premonition in us and around us, about the confusing question of who is behind it all?, what we are afraid of while we tremble before that that has not happened yet?, it is a performance about the trauma that future brings before us by the very fact that it is to come, as is the next step, as is the next corner, and what is it that awaits us behind it? what resumes or is interrupted there? this is a performance about everything that could but can not be realized as horror and loss, a performance about our inarticulate fears, their opaqueness, about the featureless monster within, one we feed with our overwhelming anticipation, yes, this is also a performance about tension, the tension of that edge, about what may be, or perhaps not, about something that might happen, or may bypass us completely, about the uncertainty that we may or may not be spared, this is a performance about something, about somewhere, about maybe, about the intensity of the uncertain and the unpredictable, in this performance our bodies are mechanisms for production of discomfort, Ana says this performance is from what our body accumulates and lives, Sonja adds it comes from the panic you feel but do not understand, from the anxiety of the world that lives on an embodied edge, but also from the body that adapts to it.
