What happens when an overstimulated body enters a state of numbness? What kinds of signals demand our attention, and which ones are no longer perceived?
“PRESERVE - Call for Attention” is a choreographic exploration that draws an analogy between the decay of nature and the decay of human society. In a state of constant emergency, bodies merge and regress, following avenues of transformation, metamorphosis and decomposition. From a bird to a parasite, from one body consuming another: the tension between growth and decay unfolds as a slow, almost invisible process, where what once seemed whole gradually disperses back into the world.
