_____________ (to be named) aims to be a self-love in action mantra, through a solo-collective piece. A solo that reflects — about me as a woman… or about me, nothing added afterwords — and invites the participatory experience of the present audience, a solo which I aim to echo within me and the ones who come live this moment almost as a repetitive act which is sane to relive. Does it aim? Is it possible? Maybe, yes, but without it being directly about it. It can be… a mantra about self-love achieved diagonally, meaning it can be about it but it’s not exactly about it because what’s in front of us is something else. What I know is that I want to get out of the way and let that solo be what it wants…though it’s yet to be. It is now a process, a space to be filled with impulses, images and material/dances.
