Live performance

The topic given: The Erotic Body.

There are different Performer-stations, which are lit by spotlights.

I walk naked, slow motion-like, in a sort of dream state around the area and among the visitors. Since no light falls on me, the public doesn’t notice my presence immediately. My face has a sad gesture and I look for contact with the people, but most of them avoid me and seem to have fear. I move freely across the room and visit successively the stations of the other Performers. My body improvises connections to the different performance installations.
