As part of the festival Actoral festival
Through progressions of vocalizations accompanied by live melodies and choreography, this performance for dancer and cello pays tribute to a series of conversations the artist has had with living archives.
These conversations serve as a guide to reconnecting with natural sources, reflect on our bodies as they undergo changes influenced by their relationship to time and the environment, and highlight the relationship between health and embodiment practices that center individual interpretations of well-being.
The through warm temperatures project aims to affirm past beliefs in castor oil: a natural remedy, an elixir and a historic and abundant natural source that transcends categories and boundaries.
