Can You Repeat?

"Is there a possibility that an outside viewer traces back the abstruse ways of a body’s inner journey? Each dancer/mover has their own codes of moving. Rarely can one discover other minds/bodies’ creative processes while watching a performance. Ay!e Orhon shares with us that intimate route of becoming. She has a body of multiple capacities. Instead of fascinating us with her physical strength and beauty, she prefers to dwell into the most awkward moments of discovering the movement.

The question of authorship is already there; Who is giving the orders? Who is adjusting? Who is submitting? The body and its infinite possibilities of “being” are analyzed in a lighthearted, unimposing manner. Yet, the body as a site of struggle is impressively in front of us."
