Fictions, my body – Andreea David & Cosmina Moroșan

Info

We are interested in the ways in which embodied presence generates word, and word generates new embodiment, challenging experiences and opening up new worlds, constantly shaping the perspectives and conventions in which we fit. What are the different roles that language accompanied by the body can acquire or access, from everyday speech to performance on stage, from language that fixes to language as potentiality? What do we become when we speak?

The invited artists and performers propose possible ways of working in the company of language, beyond illustration, by staking on the tension between representation and corporeality and on new alliances. We invite artists who use language ‘against’ language in one way or another into our dialogue.

The framework proposed and organized by Andreea David and Eliza Trefas, took shape as a result of their choreographic research started at the beginning of the year in the new CNDB production Fictions, my body (developed in the form of two 2 solo works, Where do I stay when I throw my word & Wor(l)ds).

This framework fulfills their desire to bring several artists and artists into dialogue, thus expanding the research theme by getting to know each other’s practice and their multiple approaches.

Presentations will take place every Wednesday in November.
23 November: Andreea David, Where do I remain when I throw my word and Cosmina Moroșan with Anticorp Solar, Enunciations, trajectory counters

Andreea David, Where do I remain when I throw my word

I’m where I throw my word, or somewhere behind it, searching for my soul. I am actually where my attention is. Or, things stay said and I see myself somewhere behind them. Where do I remain when I throw my attention?
I am concerned with the relationship between language and corporeality and the way the spoken word pre-forms and forms in the affectivity of the body and in the relationship with the other. I am looking for the relationship between presence and the sound manipulated by the voice that emanates it and which in turn moves the inhabitation of the body. If sound is space, what is the distance between the body and the subject it addresses and how does this distance reverberate back into the enunciator?

Cosmina Moroșan / Anticorp Solar,
Enunciations, trajectory counters

The rare statement is borderline imperceptible, it’s a flicker on (from) the black-box background. The utterances draw after themselves accumulations of gesture-movement, drawn together with enthusiastic anonymous, (of) among the phases of individuations (verses, objects, regions of semi-visualized clouds, the imagination of a thought of peace). Theory still works the viscosity of this kind of space and allows itself to be softened by it. “Speech” makes a phosphorescent heaven/earth, with chances to transform the realm of the spirit. It intermittently cooperates in the activity of materiality. It works with an inner box of a center, which always seems to be in another body. Viewed from the satellite, it’s covered with about five textures, pale tiles, tile outlines, diagonal shafts. “La sol e o Columbie în rigle naive.”

Special mentions

The works presented will be followed by artist talks.
