there are caves and attics

“To tell the truth, my body will not be so easily reduced. It has its own phantasmagorical resources. It has its places more profound and obstinate than the soul. It has its caves and attics”

Emerging from Michel Foucault’s 1966 radio broadcast “Corps Utopique,” the dance in 8 parts integrates movement, lipsynched text, and an evocative scent scape. It unravels the themes of Foucault's intimate words, embodying the various fantasies we harbor about the body.
