SKINNED

​

​

​

SKINNED will be a 40-minute cinematic dance work, in which two figures embody the inner process that one goes through in the search for oneself. By means of physical exploration they question the usual layers with which one conforms. Layer by layer, the figures deepen their evolving physical identity and molt into new forms.

SKINNED focuses on the layerdness of the physical identity, how the body can define the identity and how one can break loose from that. 

SKINNED is about the contemporary individual and their alienation of corporeal reality. By wandering through the exterior of the city the figures eventually enter themselves. They first explore their relationship with the city and society before developing the abstract forms of their inner identity.
