How To. A Score
Filiz Sizanli: Like a rolling stone
Which part of the body ages first? Our heart, our eyes… Is there a sequence for this?
Thais Di Marco: The wake
This solo is a desperate attempt of returning devices to where they actually belong.
Thami Hector Manekehla: How to save you from yourself
This is a body, a body named Soweto: this body is/it's also a place, this place is/it’s a forced settlement.
