This resting, patience
Admission: 24/17 €
Duration: approx. 3 hours.
At the same time as a ghostly archive of unused sensuality, an installative fadeout and somatic (strip)tease, "This resting, patience" explores attraction, voluntary objectification, intimacy, and the aesthetics of revelation. In an experimental format, the piece undermines the passivity of the installation as well as the temporal structuring and dramatic resolution of the performance. It breaks away from the tradition of viewing dance as an alienated spectacle and instead emphasizes its immanent sociability. In its devotion to the body, "This resting, patience" proposes sensuality and dance as timeless and democratically accessible technologies to dissolve the world and project the continuous presence into a future that endures, entirely tender, infatuated, and caring.

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 emphasize 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, quintessentially tender, infatuated, attentive.
