BIPOD 2011: The Arab Dance Platform 2nd Edition

The performance tackles the trilogy of body-memory-object and the relationship between effect and effectiveness, rejection and attraction among these elements to create a new trilogy: body-mind-new body that highlights features of rejection and separation. As time passes this trilogy changes, creating a distance between the person and his object such that it continuously disappears, rendering the object invisible and not to be found; the memories imprisoned inside it create a state of complete emptiness and coldness. This state is not only between the person and his object as it encroaches on the person’s relationships, such that the people close to him become fixed unmovable objects with an internality to which there is no way to react. A gap is created in this state. The person builds a different, fixed, cold, empty, unsaturated, world void of any emotion or feeling.
