The work explores the body’s attempt to purge organic and emotional toxicity through a music-induced trance. Repeated gestures allow the self -or individual presence (1.)- to temporarily depart from the body, making space for new ways of inhabiting it. It draws on Tarantism, a dance-based exorcism once performed to heal the psychotic symptoms supposedly caused by a tarantula’s bite. The piece intertwines the psychic and physical aspects of illness, portraying healing as a multidimensional and unpredictable process.
