womb
an interdisciplinary performance
...is a performance collaboration between dance artists Susanna Ylikoski and Ariel Hayun, and musician César Balleyguier: where they share an auditive-imaginary of the dancing body. The work premiered, by commission, in Christian Awe’s HeartBeat exhibition, in Kunsthalle Rostock (2020).
The performance questions, how does sound inform, affect, and transform the embodied image of the bodies in situ. The synchronous act of sharing the movement and its sound, creates a paradoxical world: where we are forced to be both the observer and the observed.
