Synopsis

“Hey, it’s me. Behind. You haven’t noticed me in a while. You only pay attention to me occasionally. You never dared to put me in the spotlight. And I’m tired. I’m tired of being privatised. I’m tired of being censored, covered. I’m tired of being in a place the sun never touches. It’s time for you to make me the protagonist. It might be the only way to continue.

I want you to observe me, to judge me, to love me, to get awkward with me, to get lost in me, to tune with me. I need you to nourish me. I need you to celebrate my power. I want you to see me as part of you. Because I’m there, I have always been right behind you. I’m the key to an unknown cosmos. You just need to knock three times.” (Aleksandar Georgiev)

“The Power of S” emerges as one of the results of the choreographic research “CO-series” by Aleksandar Georgiev which deals with the practices of co-existence through choreography and dance, and this work deals with research of the body parts that are socially normed,  covered, embarrassing or censured,  and give them different visual affective relation.
