For TANZLANDSCHAFT COLOMBIA Juliana Atuesta presents:

CUTICULA NERVOSA

An individual, a body, a solo. Sounds and skin waiting for language constitute a suffocated palimspest of enunciations.

How does the landscape of your skin transform itself?

Apnea, pleasure, laugh, nerves, fear and anger generate particular physical states.

The body is presented as a palimpsest of emotions in which breathing does not only operate as the basic device for the living body, but as a mechanism with its own life.

This piece is about transforming the landscape of breath, from its natural impulses towards its multiple possibilities of becoming something else than breath.
