IF LOSS HAD A BODY IT WOULD BE THIS ANIMAL
songs for friends: a vinyl is an album we have made for you. This is a record of loss, and also of growing up – which is almost the same thing. As the record plays from outside-in, the rings of a tree are growing from inside-out. Time spirals, and we skip rope across it.
In this living room, analogue and digital bodies become entangled; memories dismantle, marred by glitches. Here, violence and intimacies yield to each other with tenderness. Pull, push, pull. In the emergent speculative realities, we navigate dissociation and change.
This is the place where we created ourselves. Come on in. All is as constructed as it is real.
songs for friends: a vinyl is the new work by Ho Yuhan Ashley and Domenik Naue, two young makers who participated in One Night’s Dance in 2021.
Saturday 14 and Sunday 15 May, they will present this work in the Theaterstudio of Dansateliers. Tickets are available here.
