This performance explores an intimate dialogue between the human body and the wearable sculptures of artist Lara Buffard. It is a sensory inquiry into how the physical form and wearable art can merge into a single, living narrative.
Interacting with Dadaistic objects—such as a Renaissance-inspired collar and corset—the performer challenges physical limits to discover new pathways for expression. Gestures create a poetic space where visual beauty meets auditory nuance; a pearl, once hidden in the performer’s mouth, emerges to become a musical instrument activated by motion.
Through the tension of elastic tape, the work navigates the paradox of limitation and liberation. Etudes for Bones & Objects is an invitation to witness a seamless, transformative interplay of sound, visual art, and the human body.
