The body symphonic

Shows

The body symphonic is a performance-concert that observes the body as an archaeological space and engages it in excavation rituals, revealing new mythologies, self-representations and roots. The body is a place of being, matter that shapes, deforms, emerges. It is the container of manifestos, traumas, unanswered questions and fragile answers.
