A body and other objects
Bodies float, tilt, suspend, and intertwine, creating tensions and generating images that oscillate between vulnerability and strength, fragility and control. The performers construct an ever-changing landscape in which movement becomes simultaneously mechanical, exploratory, and poetic.
The work explores the invisible systems that connect bodies, revealing the delicate balance between dependence and autonomy, trust and risk. The piece speaks to the urgency of radical care and the interconnectedness of all things, both animate and inanimate.

A body and other objects
The piece is both strange and tender, powerful and subtle. Hair-hanging merges with partnering, martial arts, object manipulation, and contemporary illusion to form a highly visual investigation of physics and mechanics, infused with a sense of impossibility that resonates with our shared fantasy of weightlessness.
Through deep trust and intricate collaboration, Ana and Vincent open a space where the mechanics of connection are laid bare. At times, this connection appears through touch; at others, through strings, ropes, carabiners, or splicing needles, as bodies and objects remain continuously linked and intertwined. By exposing the artistry and performativity of rigging, the work moves fluidly between illusion and revelation.
Accompanied by Fabian Laute’s rich musical composition, A body and other objects invites audiences to rediscover the magic of the everyday and to contemplate the profound interconnectedness of all things, animate and inanimate alike.
