NEAR MISSES deals with the body as a site of conflict. It explores «near-to» experiences of body illness, transformation, and failure. A series of acts unfolds gradually, blending spoken and written words, protective symbolic objects, and intense physical states. With deliberate yet brute gestures, gargoyle-like facial expressions and by activating self-defense physicalities, the piece reveals an incessant composition that shifts between silence and rage.
The performer is accompanied by a set of detachable metal objects and wearables that operate as both burdens and bodily extensions. It generates a sonic and vocal altar that gradually reveals an overexposed gesture of obtaining freedom, and resilience in chaos.
