ENTITEY / JASON MARTIN (CANADA) | étude nO.1
About the piece
étude nO.1 delves into cycles of transformation, renewal, and reconstruction, centering on the impermanence of the human condition. Guided by a sensory and dynamic dialogue between emotion and bodily response, the movement seeks a state of total, sensitive physical engagement. The body then becomes a communicator of the intangible, shifting from self-sufficiency to solitude, vulnerability to determination, provocation to resignation.
