Parrhésia

This performance is a duo that stages the encounter between a dancer and a sound artist in a quest for echo and listening to the body.

The two performers move within a sound device, seeking each other through gentleness, strength, feints, or play. They are driven by a desire to meet, to step aside, to make contact, to move toward the other in order to open a shared horizon.

This piece takes the form of an acoustic and bodily performance where spaces and sensations evolve as the relationships between the performers, the device, and the audience unfold.

“There is parrhesia when a truth-speaking opens up a space of risk for the one who utters it.”
