    The movements and soundscape become larger, just like our growing feelings within a relationship, until they move some thing deep inside us and nestle beneath the skin.

    In Through the Skin the young Iranian choreographers Mitra Ziaee and Hiva Sedaghat use their bodies to portray their personal experiences with love – and all the pleasure and pain this entails. A net around the two of them symbolises the relationship, which at best can feel like a safe bubble. Little by little, the two bodies move away from each other. The movements and soundscape become larger, just like our growing feelings within a relationship, until they move some thing deep inside us and nestle beneath the skin.

    After the performance the video So-city of Spectacle, a practice of freedom will be shown. It takes its name from Guy Debord’s theory, ‘The Society of Spectacle’. Debord considers society as a staged scene, where the individuals are positioned, ruled and played by the power relations between them. We witness two eccentric female bodies, performing off-stage and drawing the audience away from its male gaze. A spectacular performance!
