Consolation

Through intimacy, sensitivity, and kinaesthetic empathy, Consolation explores how a body consoles another body. Delving into the experience of shared sensitization, two bodies sway, rock, hold, and carry each other as a driving force for movement. Intertwined, the bodies orbit around each other and become fragile, exhausted, and enchanted. The work examines caring touch, lamentations, pulsating movement, melancholic melodies, and the tradition of weeping women as possible ways of sharing grief.
