This solo dance performance attempts to discover the secret side of young loafers who kill time leaning on walls. It summons the impetus hidden behind their outward indifference and experiments with the sensitivities behind their gazes. The project is a site specific dance performance: it follows the paths of the “wall-leaners” through the streets and probes their relationship with the wall by retracing the patterns and shapes they form unconsciously. Through the reproduction of a series of twitches, jerks and contortions, it sheds light on these inert bodies in the shade which have become a fundamental appendage to urban architecture.
