The idea of a new group creation was born from a series of short choreographic actions called “silent protests” created during the lockdown periods and dedicated to the concept of ‘the body of protest’. The desire is to go through a process in which the performers can abandon themselves to a mutually constructed space where they can expose their own vulnerable bodies. In this shared space the performers proceed together through a dance that emerges from a stream of consciousness activated in real time, in order to unleash and reveal new and retained tensions or questions, and to give movement and voice to postponed revolutions. Our days require a reflection on the sense of care, participation, listening and healing. Bodies are continuously restrained by cultural environments, they are territories colonized by control, violence, and offense; we are forced not to express our vulnerability, which remains not observed and uncelebrated. The intention is to create a ‘a collective body speech’ which is self-generating in the present, as a form of protest. Four bodies offer themselves to the community, with their exposed vulnerabilities and open wounds.

The shared practices will focus on listening to what one’s connective tissues asks to release in response to the information given by the in which the bodies are immersed. The performers will be invited to translate verbally and gesturally every thought, every desire, and impulse that will arise as a response. The choreographic device will emerge as an expansion of the somatic experience that the performers live in front of the audience, establishing an empathic relationship, opening to an immersive state. The identity of each individual body is revealed and decconstructed in realtime, through the encounter with others, showing how boundaries can surrender and cease defending. A mutual construction starts activating where the performers translate in real-time the choreographic score that is written on their body moment by moment, manifesting themselves as living bodies, moved by desire and supporting each others to build their own freeing, vulnerable and revolutionary dance.

A choreographic solo by Benjamin Kahn
created for Sati Veyrunes
Created on March 25, 2023
KLAP Maison pour la danse – Marseille
In the frame of the festival + de Genres

In September 2020, a group of mothers from New Jersey decided to gather in a park and scream loudly. They felt neglected in the fight against the pandemic. The act of shouting collectively, claiming space in front of one’s own ego and sharing that need in an informal gathering seemed to be a soothing pratic in these times of despair. Following this first collective cry, the New York Times installed a public telephone line in the hope of serving those who need a primal cry. One of the starting points of our research is the clamor of social protest from these mothers, as well as from many other women in recent decades. 
With the performer/soloist Sati Veyrunes and he composer Lucia Ross, Kahn wanted to question the means of expression related to urgency. The cry is extremely poorly documented in the history of philosophy and the social sciences. Most often likened to anger, hysteria and chaos, it is censored in the language we use. This solo is an attempt to reappropriate this radical expression in order to articulate and tame this extremely raw and stunning material. Through a powerful physical and sonic journey, it is a question of allowing the public to encounter beauty, harmony and symmetry, making this vital impulse accessible again. We can consider the cry as the most instantaneous and audible form of personal urgency towards the political and public space. It becomes a dramaturgic and choreographic tool, facilitating the cohabitation and mixing of different realities and their state of crisis.
"Bless the Sound that Saves a Witch like me" is written in the plural, to underline the diversity of realities and the infinitely diverse cries that coexist within us and around us. There is this intimate and existential cry and the public cry, from personal urgency to collective. There is in the writing the solo and the choir, as a loneliness marked by all struggles. Crossed by the complexity of their indissociable coexistences, Bless… tries to invest the boundaries between the intimate and the collective and the possibility of a necessary liberation.

TO BE POSSESSED premiered in Athens, at the ONASSIS DANCE DAYS in March 2023.

Chara Kotsali’s 2023 dance solo is a rehearsal of demonic rituals. It premiered in March 2023 during Onassis Dance Days. In “to be possessed”, she summons spirits that haunt our language, our scriptures, our knowledge, our minds, and the material world itself.
By exploring women’s testimonies from different cultural contexts, Kotsali lets herself become a mouthpiece for these stories about demons, exorcism and the invocation of spirits. Doing so, she presents a moving body that is forever outside the self, a form of experience that calls into question the self-sufficiency and autonomy of the individual woman.
“to be possessed” experiments with the creation of rituals of remembrance and the stirring of the multiple voices that dwell within us. Kotsali indulges in the demonic as she attempts to animate the phenomena she encounters, inviting them to reveal their overwhelming yet subversive character.
