my shadow used to have a density
my shadow used to have a density, created during the first covid-19 outbreak, consists of a 1 to 1 encounter and phone conversation between a vacuumed performer and a spectator; the performance aims at creating a space where physical distance, alienation, isolation form an opportunity to connect instead of separating, beyond social conventions and daily manners.
‘whether you take in the image as a whole or move closer and take a closer look at the plastic-cuffed living body, my shadow used to have a density generates very practical forms of distance, making you aware of what proximity might mean’ ‘keuze van de critics. theaterkrant’
