Youth is a clash between the past, present, and future. The result of that impact is a force, a monstrous force. The monster, that which does not yet exist, cannot be defined by its form, or its form is an impossible combination to configure beforehand. It is to open oneself to the abyss of this new formulation that must necessarily emerge. The body that is left. The process of liberating the body and being, lightening up for the next journey. The world that enters. The world must hurt for the body to react. Opening to the world, with all its complexity. Developing and training the desire of the other. Practicing autonomy. Enhancing the capacity to be affected by another one, and by the otherness. Emotional negotiation as a form of interrelation and a possibility to act in common. Offering the new body. An open, vulnerable, fragile body, as a way of facing what is to come. The piece is presented as a score of actions where each participant must design, integrate, and negotiate with others. In the anteroom, an exhibition of portraits created from the exercise carried out in the workshop is presented, with the premise of lightening the being.
The work is a ritual between that old body and the new body, the latter offered to the audience at the epilogue of the work. Gradually, the young bodies begin dismantling what is established to become another body, fractal, overlapped, powerful. Throughout this ritual between the two bodies, the piece incorporates worlds, the collective, the past, the other. The audience faces a group of young people who dare to open themselves to the world and its complexity, to burst with desire, to provoke movement, to offer us the exercise of surrendering to the alteration they provoke in us. Our task: to be ready to have the table turned, to coexist with them, to try to understand them, to give them space, to support them, to push them, to receive them, to listen to them, to care for them.
