Come to the edge, she said.
No, I will fall.
Come to the edge.
No, it's too high.
Come to the edge.
I came
she pushed
and I flew.
This performance arises from my desire to explore sexuality. I have chosen to approach sexuality from a personal point of view and to investigate it on two levels: individual and through interaction with spectator. In this journey, while diving into my limits and doubts, I have found these questions:
- What I'm looking for through sex?
- Do I need my body to reach ecstacy?
- What are the limitations that prevent me to go beyond?
The
Human Time Site Specific format facilitates a very specific investigation with time, space and human being.
Starting from my personal inquietudes, and from my life experience, in an unconventional space and during a large frame of time (min. 5 hours non stop), I interact with 3 spectators at time in order to facilitate a genuine encounter with every person.
In this encounter, based on the principle of non-fiction, I abandon the concept of role-play and make-believe, revealing intimate aspects of myself, and sharing an action that’s truly happening in the here and now.
Every encounter is a unique experience that generates very personal responses in the spectator.Performer and spectator are both receptive and responsive to one another in order to share openness and vulnerability; they become both creators and protagonists of a deeply experiential universe.
