Ewa Dziarnowska: This resting, patience

Fri 03. & Sat 04.05., 19.30h, Austrian Premiere, Dance/Installation 

Part ghostly repository of unconsumed sensuality, an installative kinetic fadeout, part somatic (strip)tease, "This resting, patience" addresses attraction, voluntary objectification, proximity and the aesthetics of bareness. Employing an experimental format, it upsets the passivity of installation and the time-delineation and dramaturgical resolution of performance and steps away from the tradition of viewing dance as an alienated spectacle to instead emphasise its immanent sociability. In its devotion to the body, "This resting, patience" proposes sensuousness and dancing as timeless and democratically available technologies of undoing the world and projecting the continuous present into a future that lasts, forever suspended and unfolding, quintessentially tender, infatuated, attentive.
