Performance synopsis

This is the real thing is a performance where the body is at its centre. A single dancer creates and deconstructs her environment, playing in the landscape of visual meanings and possible references. The physical body functions as an infinite hypertext, referring the viewer to yet further associations. The dialogue between the real body and its visual representations raises the question of what the body actually is, how we perceive it and to what extent we can consciously construct it.
