BothBodies
BothBodies
In BothBodies, two performers enter a shifting world of light and illusion, searching for where the Self ends and the Other begins. Moving around a reflective, transparent screen, their bodies melt together, overlap, disappear and reappear, seemingly inhabiting each other’s space. Through this visual choreography, SKYPUNCH COLLECTIVE explores how boundaries between bodies can soften and transform. What unfolds is a surreal reality in constant motion, where images dissolve as quickly as they emerge.
Balancing between intimacy and alienation, dream and physical presence, BothBodies invites the audience into a poetic and hypnotic experience; a mesmerising choreography for two bodies and their reflections that invites a more fluid way of seeing.
About the makers
SKYPUNCH COLLECTIVE is the interdisciplinary performance collective of Anna Zurkirchen and Celine Werkhoven. Rooted in the language of dance, we create hybrid works that blend movement, scenography and audiovisual elements to explore intimacy, perception, and identity.
Our fascination for human sensation and perception results in sensorially stimulating performances and live experiences in diverse settings — from traditional theaters to natural landscapes, video installations, and public space. Playfully balancing between the surreal and the real, we seek out ways to challenge and expand the spectator’s perception.
