Spine of Desire: Wounds without tears, out of one skin in diamonds and shit
Spine Of Desire: Wounds without tears, out of one skin in diamonds and shit is a black box performance that draws from individual and collective narratives to create an experience with sonic, visual, spatial and dancing elements.
Stanley Ollivier’s new work takes as a starting point the community building power of POC belonging spaces in order to reformulate traditional choreographic approaches. Together with performers Lily Brieu Nguyen and Mamadou Wagué, they explore everyday reality and social changes through a danced language that reflects the interrelations between the intimate, the body and the creation of a guarded, safe space.
