In the language that you are / Picnic with animals December 2023 Participatory performance proposal presented at National Dance Center Bucharest within Fictions, my body frame
It combines the concept previously presented in Fictions, my body, of working with language and being through language on stage, and the concept developed this year of coexisting, living and integrating among animals, of exchanging practices (performative or no) with these, a concept tested and experienced in a residency with animals. It is an invitation for the audience to explore test imagine during the performance the simplicity and authenticity of animals, and to try a way of communication specific to them, opening the concept of language to the sphere of animals, to the language of animals, imagining language from the perspective of animals / Fiction, my/our/their body. I propose an open and "safe" framework in which everyone is free to explore the relationship with animals and what animal language can mean. More precisely, I propose that we be animals. And, because most animals are happiest when they have something to eat, the action will happen around the concept of a picnic. More or less ironically said, I love animals very much, the experience of living with animals, especially bigger animals like donkeys (excluding exploitation of any kind) is a very powerful experience; missing them very much and not having immediate and easy access to them, I thought of proposing this framework, of making a transfer to the public and experiencing the same thing with people, I'm curious what will happen.
