Gaze is a performance that explores attraction, sensuality and frustration through the phenomenon of looking and other senses such as touch and taste.
Each performer brings a different personality and explores these concepts from different perspectives, creating an intersection and relationship between them.
There is an installation accompanying this performance called Public Intimacy. Where you are inside a set for observation and exposure at the same time. Here is a video work where you can meet the characters of this performance when the piece is not going on. This video work is a collection of six individual performances, one per performer where you can get to observe their personality in an intimate way.
When we are in public spaces, we have an audience and we are the audience, we take and we give - this can be simplify to the simplicity of breathing; breath in, breath out - just be. I consider “being”a gift we give to others and to ourself.
With this installation my aim is to bring the intimate to the public. I consider intimacy a way of listening, a way of looking and gazing. When we are listening ourself we are intimate with ourselves. Listening is a way of reading that can be done not only with your ears but with the touch, the smell, the taste and the looking. In this performance I explore the intersection between being intimate with ourself and with the people around.
