Numbness
The project falls under the category of physical theater, an experimental method that, here, employs movement patterns connected with the body’s physical memory of war at the tangible and symbolic levels. The performance also addresses the idea of psychological instability which becomes a form of numbness that dominates our interactions with the outside world as a means to insulate ourselves from adversity. That numbness can make people accept the most horrible conditions simply because they feel threatened by even worse.
