Description
BUTTER is a collaboration between two female artists that explores the intersection between gender idiosyncrasies in partnering technique and stage presence. The work examines how concepts of power and vulnerability manifest themselves in gender, as two female bodies, laden with history and expectations, navigate generational attachment, hierarchy, and trust. Through reproaches, memories, and complicity, the piece touches on complex narratives that transform from a family bond to bodily trauma, with allusions to sexual desire, forgetting, and childhood obsession.
