The piece contains scenes of nudity.

Electronic music has been transposed to the virtual sphere through the invention of the sample. The piece uses the performer’s body as a source of sound and thus physicalises the instrument anew. The human being and the living matter of which they are made become unified. The body both experiences and is experienced, becoming a receptor to itself. The need to fully experience pushes the performer towards extreme actions which straddle brutality and tenderness.

Karol Tymiński is a Polish-born choreographer based in Berlin. His choreography is anchored in the research on the physicality of the performing body at the tissue level. Since 2013, he has been an APAP (Advancing Performing Arts Project) artist. He has also received support from Open Latitude, ImPulsTanz – Vienna International Dance Festival, American Realness, Movement Research, the European Commission, the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage, the Old Brewery New Dance programme, and the Body/Mind Foundation.
