State of Play Festival: David Harvey and Babatunji
Photo collage: two dancers' bodies intertwined multiple times. They are in a studio space with bright blue backdrop. One is wearing red pants and another one - gray pants and whit t-shirt.
Chimera explores the many identities of one body – how they emerge through behavior, relationship, and embodiment. This dance work employs a sensitive physical language that combines care, wildness, intimacy, and enthusiasm, and centers on a duet between two men. The use of video design describes the often unseen implications of how relationships reveal hidden aspects of one’s own identity. Chimera contemplates the outlines of the self–their mutability, permeability, and how they overlap within the infinite undulating of context, environment, and relationship.
