Description This performance is concerned with the question of suffering; with the vulnerability of the body and also its resistance. It poses questions about the nature of dance and its place in contemporary society, specifically its capacity to represent and examine social and political issues. This piece requires that the performers, in a strictly circumscribed and provisional sense, occupy the place of victim, and that their vulnerability is the ground and the subject of the work.
