Nov 2+3+4. No longer, not yet / Anna Pehrsson
The last piece in Trilogy for Singular Bodies (Cut in/ fold out 2016, In [Brackets] 2017, No longer, not yet 2018), uses the figure of the ‘alien’ in order to free and renegotiate the bodily structure of the female subject.
Through the mantra ‘As if already gone’, dancers Agnieszka Dlugoszewska and Anna Pehrsson propose an interdependent connectivity moving in-between past and future, space and place, human and nonhuman. Refusing to ‘rest in peace’, they float in-between and outside themselves, neither here, nor there, creating symbiotic hybrids.
