A beat pressing time into the skin, like a chiron.The need for rhythmic breathing, rhythmic breathing.
What is the fantasy in such an act?
Show your Wound is a choreographic and sonic performance by Ana Lessing Menjibar. In an installation space, she exposes the emotional and vulnerable human body in an almost post-human world. In dialogue with the musicians Philipp Kullen & Nikola Pieper, she interweaves body, sound worlds and language into an installation that offers her space to examine different physical states from formal to ecstatic for their poetic potential. She deconstructs flamenco and its method of "showing wounds" as an extension of her dance practice in order to pursue questions about wounds and their healing, the collective body and transformation processes.
Produced by Ana Lessing Menjibar. This research project is supported by CAA Berlin, Berlin Senate Department for Culture and Europe and DIS-TANZ SOLO Funding - Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and Media in the NEUSTART KULTUR program, DIS-TANZEN aid program of the Dachverband Tanz Deutschland.
