Production Details / Press Releases
“58 Indices on the Body” by the French philosopher Jean-Luc Nancy is a list of sometimes contradictory, short remarks on the human body. His text is the source of inspiration for this choreography.
„Why indices rather than characters, signs, distinctive markings? Because the body escapes, is never sure, lets its presence be suspected but not identified. […]
We only have references, traces, imprints, footprints.“ „A body is a difference. Since it is a difference from every other body […] it’s never done with differing. It also differs from itself.“
Zufit Simon’s production “STRANGE FOREIGN BODIES” was performed for a filmed version at Uferstudios Berlin.
