Cuerpos dóciles
performance
2020
This piece is an exercise of surrender, in which one body submits to the action of another. In this dialogue, the vulnerability of submission to an external power is externalized; at the same time, the unidirectionality of power is refuted, revealing a strength in the capacity to resist the influence of an external pressure. From this voluntary subjection, from this surrender, the question arises: What kind of power is distilled from a docile body?
This action points towards a reversibility of power, by suggesting that the maximum suggestion can be transformed into power and qualify the sublimation of an oppression.
I fold, bent over myself, I yield my weight to gravity. I submerge my head in a dark earth, trying to remain there. I offer myself, to lay an altar on my back.
