"The Antecedents" begins in Zürich, in the Langstrasse district.

I come and go there, to melt more into the carnal nightlife of the streets and clubs, as a place of observation and meetings for my writing work. There, more or less, the numerous workers who have come from far away mingle. Transsexuals for a great number; young and old.

The prostitutes lure; they establish the public space as a matriarchal space, a jungle of sororities, of open air trafficking. The appetizing mimics, the plastic silhouettes, the ambiguous encounters: the desire is reconditioned.

The bodies exile from earth to be silent and the skins exile towards a plasticity in suspension.

Opaque contact. She insists, I insist, with fear.

I WANT TO DANCE IT WITH MY SHOES ON.

Playing and thwarting sex through one's own body is an act of resistance as much as it is a choice of survival.

The dance is drawn like a mime. It is a mute song, the irons of the steps ooze this de/vowed body."

Anna Gaïotti
