Body Fiction (2023)

Body Fiction – is a performance work that examines how bodies are constructed, fragmented, and re-scripted through choreographic repetition and material encounter.

Drawing on their shared experience as queer life models, the artists interrogate embodiment, visibility, and the unstable line of the creative process.

The performance unfolds as an exploratory field in which elements enter and recede, oscillating between sustained enquiry and abstract gesture rather than narrative resolution.
