Soulless

Soulless plays on the desi­re to be seen and the need to sub­vert and retre­at. Inspired by the logics of mime and slapstick, Tenenbaum approaches her body through the concept of plasticity. Woven together with Hendrik Willekens’ music, movement undergoes perpetual change in shape and volume and in proximity and estrangement from itself, reaching an awkward flow. Soulless is simultaneously invested in the physical pain of the real and in the theatrical world of make-believe.
