Teaser Oen/Closed – FESCH.TV

FESCH.TV INFORMIERT:

„Born in 1995, I’m part of a generation that feels like, to me, as one of the in-between. We unfold amid utopia and dystopia, amid anger and fear, and navigate in an impossible future. With Open/Closed I would like to externalize this duality and explore the emotional state of this turmoil as an empowering gesture.“

Open/Closed guides the visitor through an intimate research, exposing the body inside-out and outside-in. To the sound of organic textures, Piton’s conceptual and risky dances are releasing a powerful sensitivity. Originating from a single vocal sample, the trembling voice intensifies into the soundtrack of a fiercely vulnerable and personal revolution. The boundaries of the self fade away as an invitation to become Open/Closed to our surroundings.
