In a society that suppresses her sexual desires, Anna D. (Anna Dujardin) makes the stage her sanctuary. She caresses, transforms, disarms, claims space and lays bare.
‘TWOTFAM’ – ‘The Works of the Flesh Are Manifest’ – is about creating intimacy on stage and the power relations involved in doing so. Anna Dujardin’s diary entries, illustrations and poetry all are set in motion before an audience.
‘TWOTFAM’ is an invitation to honour your erotic self from a place of interconnectedness. It is a carnal celebration of word and movement as an antidote to humiliation and ‘invisibilisation’. It’s a fun time that’s not all about climaxing, because ‘it’s my party and I cry or come if I want to’.
Anna and collaborator Fanny Vandesande met through the inclusive dance company Platform-K, which creates professional productions starring dancers both with and without disabilities. As performers and makers, they have in common not only their shared love of movement, but also their fascination in research topics such as sexuality, eroticism and intimacy. In fact, this was the starting point for ‘TWOTFAM’.
‘TWOTFAM’ is a relaxed performance. With our ‘relaxed performances’, we aim to ensure everyone is at ease, especially those who may find standard theatre conventions difficult: people with learning disabilities or motor disorders, autism, neurological conditions, and people with Tourette’s, among others. And so this performance will take place in a caring and relaxed environment with a more easy-going atmosphere. Any vocalisations, gestures and movements from the audience during the show are received with kindness. A chill-out zone is also provided for audience members who need a break.
The performance on 07.04 will be followed by an open post-show discussion together with Anna and Fanny, moderated by artist, art historian and activist Josefien Cornette.
