Simulacro

“Simulacro” is an exercise around intimacy, repetition, and resistance. Two bodies in continuous exertion explore the limits of their proximity and the degenerative nature of the gesture. A diffuse space emerges between the real and the fictional, between the public and the private, heightening the conditions for vulnerability, expectation, and tension. “Simulacro” derives from a collection of actions and gestures present in the close relationship between the two performers, crossed by vestiges of shared memories, in a slow process of transformation of the bodies and their pulses.
