A BOY ROLLING AROUND WITH MUD
The art of performance is often treated as a recent invention, yet it has been inherent to human expression since ancient times. Over time, it became confined to the stage, creating divisions between societal groups: those who learned to navigate expression within established norms, and those who were constrained by them.
A boy rolling around in mud is an allegory of the young unsullied peasant who explores modern life in a space dominated by asphalt and concrete. It is akin to removing a performer from the stage and its limitations, releasing them into the architectural environment outdoors. A boundless, expansive space.
The project invites performers out of the spaces assigned to them. Off the stage, out of the studio, away from the codes that frame and contain them. What remains is the body itself, in open space, with no prescribed role to fulfill. A boy rolling around in mud. A boundless, expansive space. The project is ongoing.
