Luring Whispers (sold out)

What worlds are entered in sensation? Surreal worlds? Magical ones perhaps? Haunting for sure as they tend not to be seen but are felt. What traces are the lines to enter these worlds? 

In Luring Whispers Indian performer/maker Keerthi Basavarajaiah shifts the common assumption of human agency (notably its visual dominance) and investigates the experience at play in what might go unseen. A dance in the initiation of senses- of touch, smell, taste, sound, of movement, a synesthetic play through the traces of materiality. Presence in their absence, presence in their traces, presence at a distance. Things come alive in this dance that exceeds its parts. From tiny sounds – a crackle, a sizzle, a sputter – to the body gestures -a stroke, a caress, a touch – and material traces – a drop, a speck, a morsel – the work plays in between and across.

About Keerthi Basavarajaiah

Keerthi Basavarajaiah is a maker and performer of Indian origin, based in Amsterdam. As a choreography graduate from SNDO (School for New Dance Development), she is looking at generative spaces for the body to attune to the emerging conditions, exploring shifts in the mundanity of rhythms. Her works tend to move with a synaesthetic play of senses, in-between the postures of audience-performance relationship. What other worlds can be entered side- ways amidst the exhausted bodies of habitual perception? Recently she has received a contribution of Fonds Podiumkunsten to develop a project named “Art on Delivery” in Amsterdam.
