Regional Debut
A performance imbued with empathy and dark humor‚ centered around the seemingly dangerous acrobatics of a scantily−clad girl inside of a box. After she falls‚ the very long pause that follows makes the audience uneasy. Was what just happened intentional? And thus‚ the spectatotors also become witnesses.
This solo was presented in 2008 at the Anticorpi XL Showcase in Ravenna‚ at the Elan Frantoio (Olive Mill) in Fucecchio and at the SzoloDuo Festival in Budapest (Hungary) and in 2007 at Siobhan Davies Studio in London and at Studio Theatre‚ Trinity Laban (London).
