Leaky Immediations

Discussion after the show The performance on Tuesday January 16 will be followed by a discussion with Lara Oundjian. “Leaky Immediations” is a choreography for a leaky body. Working against objectification and towards excess and ambivalence, the body is fleshy, rumbling, both porous and uncapturable. Like a lake, she is an ecology of slippery relations. “Leaky Immediations” is a choreography for a leaky body. In this multi-sensory piece, Lara composes dialogues between her body, sonic objects, small bodies of water, glassy thresholds, dripping wigs, crinkling sheets, deep growls, and the cloudy surfaces of words. Actions of the past layer on top of those of the present, creating a non-linear experience of movement in time. Throughout, the body is fleshy, rumbling, both porous and uncapturable. Like a lake, she is an ecology of slippery relations. An homage to the complexity of female sexuality, ‘Leaking Immediations’ has stakes in the economy of the gaze, working against objectification and towards excess and ambivalence. Narratives write and rewrite the world, but truth is a sea of multifaceted fragments dissolving into one another. Can choreography be a lens to see essences not as fixed points, but as movement and shift across fluid thresholds?
