In my imaginary, I imagine you.
I go, I keep going, I continue, I stop and I wait for you
In the same chair where you were sitting just a moment ago.
The intention of being with you in the differences.
Telepathy
For this encounter, in the frame of DKS, Katia and Iris propose an intimate dialogue on a distance, a performance by 2 women in different spaces but connected through the sound they produce and the act of listening to the other – imagining each other in the same surroundings and communicating through intuition and telepathy. In this limited space the past, present and future are in unison. The hypothesis for this experiment is:
I dance here with you.
You dance there with me.
Do we dance together?
