DESIDERATA
-
DESCRIPTION
Desiderata explores human desire and pleasure — the ability to touch and feel, the energy exchanged between people, and the urge to communicate through skin. It dives into the electrifying sensation that arises when we want to be with someone and allow ourselves to be seen.
The piece searches for a connection to the sensory and poetic — a desire expressed through the body and skin, reaching the core of human emotion and authenticity, rather than technique or form.
Here, interpretation takes precedence over form. Movement, although structured, must be lived and interpreted by each dancer.
In an empty space, relying on light and faded, dusty-toned costumes, Desiderata begins with touch as the first form of communication. The skin becomes a landscape of contact and a repository of information about who we are and how we feel — close to, or far from, another.
Desiderata is a creation by the inclusive company Axis Dance Company (San Francisco), directed by Nadia Adame. Choreographed and staged by Asun Noales, the piece is co-produced by Axis Dance Company and The Joyce Theater (New York), and premiered at the prestigious Jacob’s Pillow Festival. -
