“are you ok?”
Big thank you to my mentor Lenneke Rasschaert,
to the dancers for joining me and also trusting me during this process, to @julianmicheledc for recording this and of course to everyone who came!
description:
“It’s a silly question, isn’t it? The mere fact that you’re asking indicates that everything is clearly not okay. It’s true, I’m not. That moment when you’re teetering on the brink of tears. You feel your nose twitching, your lips trembling, and you begin to recall the first time you felt this way. ‘It’s happening again, isn’t it?’ Little do you realize, it’ll be even worse this time. Meanwhile, your eyes begin to well up, and your nose starts to get runny. You can’t even hold a gaze for two seconds without blinking. ‘Are you OK?’ they ask..”

“Joe,Lucy Looking For.”
—
a tale about a person in search for nirvana yet consumed and driven with resentment.
Lucy, a symbol for an empty body trying to reconnect with its soul.
Illustrating how dirty and ugly the body can become in search of their soul.
Searching everywhere except within.
Is it wickedness?

“Is it wickedness?
is it weakness?
Lucy is a mirror, able to control fear.
But not their own.
They attract everything they desire.
they attract hate instead of love,
division instead of unity,
lies instead of truth,
grief instead of closure,
wickedness instead of weakness,
darkness instead of light,
death instead of life,
But death is new life, same way darkness can not exist with no light.
A lesson Lucy has yet to learn”
Is it wickedness?

They’re stuck in their ways. Their way of life, of expressing, their way of being. One lens of the world translated to a whole body, a whole being.
They’re bound to the world, bound to their ways, bound to failure.
They seek for a way out. Determined to look anywhere, except within.
They’re ego driven.
This is Lucy.
