![Seven Fenders and One Rope]( "Seven Fenders and One Rope")
infoSeven Fenders and One Rope is an absurdist performance work based on an attempt to carry multiple fenders connected by rope through a space. Housed in a dance studio, the work seeks to re-contextualise the initial function of the fender and the site, allowing for new marine vocabularies to emerge. This performance is part of a wider research practice referred to as sealing, which somatically and through the development of a shamanic alter ego aims to subvert human and non-human dualisms. Thus, by proposing an intra-active yet coexisting body-object orientation and relation, Seven Fenders and One Rope problematises and plays upon the absurdity of human and more-than-human interaction in relation to anthropocentrism, agency and utility. With special thanks to Lucie Strecker, selina bonelli, Clio Van Aerde and Eleftheria Sokratus for their support. Sound credit: Christina Vantzou. Lights: Cláudia Ferrando.
