LEIB – What does a body desire? / Cuatro X Cuatro (Mexiko)

As part of the guest performance series Global Bodies

Initially shrouded in darkness, LEIB – What does a body desire? unfolds an acoustic experience of crackling and soft sounds that fill the room. Gradually, a fireplace appears in the light and the stage becomes a place of sensual, poetic evocation. With voice, music, objects, and movement, it is not a spirit that is conjured up, but the body itself – as the first space of feeling and encounter.

Cuatro X Cuatro is known for its innovative works that are deeply rooted in social contexts. This first part of their trilogy is about opening up a new unfolding for the body. The body is perceived as a collective voice that speaks to nature, dreams, the night, and the sun. Dance becomes a space in which another world is possible – or at least a way of experiencing and understanding this world. LEIB is a sign for all those who have disappeared to find their way home again.
