Something is Approaching
In Something is Approaching, Carolina Mendonça investigates the notion of violence through writing and muscular rumination. What type of stories are stuck to our muscles that can be released by a bullet? Can our muscles dream of less violent narratives in a world that is collapsing?
After her previous work Zones of Resplendence focused on the imagination of an army that fights against sexual violence, some questions have become unavoidable and some practices seem to require more time. In Something is Approaching, Carolina and her team continue to speculate how choreography and body practices can be a form of self-defense, this time investigating the violence that is embedded in the social structure of the family.
