physical prospects

A landscape of bodies, moss, concrete. The landscape rests. Then slowly starts to move:
A cracking sound, as if the surface of a silent landscape suddenly breaks open, because the bubbling underneath seeks its path. Cracks condense, deform the landscape, bring it to life - destroy it.

»physical prospects« lingers in this place of crumbling apart, of decay: in the opening interstices, it traces the violence of the Anthropocene. Queer perspectives on grief and rage set physical prospects' own fragility as a resistant anchor point. What can such resistance look like, how does it feel, how does it materialize?

»physical prospects« unfolds between a body, moss and a vast concrete landscape. The choreography not only sets the body in motion, but also the materials, so that at times the whole landscape is in flux. At times the body detaches itself, and is confronted with its own vulnerability and rage. And yet the body remains part of the dynamic: under the hands, the landscape disintegrates or breaks under its weight. Nothing remains but to witness the landscape as it falls apart. The choreographic dialogue between body and landscape searches for possibilities to endure the vulnerability and the rage together and thus manifest a counter-design.
