Dark matter, Red lines, and Stendhal imprint is a performance exploring the tension between desire and preservation. The nonverbal performance expresses my desire to connect with other bodies outside and the inner necessity of self-preservation, after fifteen months inside my home, within myself.

Locked in a red room, I fight an invisible extime frontier while nourishing my inner realm. What could happen when what I missed becomes too much? All those shadows, bodies, faces and voices are as close as I fantasized about them. Yet, the reality, and its endless and noisy factory of movements, crush my dream of a simple exchange with someone.

Dark matter, Red lines, and Stendhal imprint is a delicate and brutal ritual where movement and breathing oscillate between an unbalanced body and a centred intimacy. During the performance, I use the air and oxygen to be inside and outside simultaneously. I stumble, searching for gravity and imaginary people.
Dark matter, Red lines, and Stendhal imprint is an attempt to be present and absent until a new form of collective intimacy emerges from my fingertips and my eyes to others' skin and eyes.

Dark matter, Red lines, and Stendhal imprint is the act of a concrete body trying to reach a forgotten and hypocritical universe.

Dark matter, Red lines, and Stendhal imprint is a no man's land populated with future/ex strangers.

Dark matter, Red lines, and Stendhal imprint is an inner spiritual war.
