TANA
“TANA” is a performance created in close collaboration with four performers, including a live accordeonist, all sharing similar political, ethical and affective concerns. The choreography is based on the respective coping strategies, self-care tools and the pleasure activism of the cast, which we collected, studied and assembled. Close to nude, we unfold sequences of movements and performative scores, accompanied by extended live accordion chords. We thus create a poetic ecosystem of care for the self and the group, in which the audience is warmly invited, sitting close to us.
"TANA" is a movement-oriented reflection on existential themes —death, rebirth, self-ownership, the intricacies of the individual and the collective, loneliness and communal empowerment— which favours the realm of intuition, awareness and subconscious.
The piece insists on creating a space for non-conforming bodies to perform and exist within the arts.
