Choreography of Strange Attachments
Which reality are you attached to — and which one is performing you?
The work — 16:9
Statement
Every attachment is a performance, and every performance builds a reality.
We catalogued our own habits first — the objects always carried, the routes always taken, the gestures repeated without noticing — and turned them into a movement vocabulary. Performed long enough, a familiar gesture turns strange, and the choreography hiding inside ordinary behaviour becomes visible.
The piece alternates between those movements and their distortions: the same gesture at a different speed, in a different context, with a different partner. Each variation is another reality where the same attachment plays out differently. A live performance cannot be repeated, which is also the argument — if every night differs, which one was real?
The Work
The most revealing moment was when the audience recognised their own morning routine in a stranger's choreography.
