Reverie on the Sofa
(2024)
In the convulsions of the pandemic, the body emerged as a locus of rupture and revelation. Stripped of its quotidian trappings, the home became an arena of isolation and self-preservation, a hermetic space where the geometry of survival usurped the ethics of kinship. This research plunges into the viscera of post-pandemic existence, probing the intersections of body, space, and performance through a lens both visceral and sublime. The once-sacred intimacy of the home, now a stark fortress against the invisible scourge, reveals the abject truths of our corporeal being. Through theoretical exegesis and participatory workshops, it seeks to unearth the latent potential for site-specific performances that echo the haunting resonance of these times.
