UTOPIA

We inhabit a corrosive spiral of destruction. We look at the body in a simplistic way and run after the production of another body. This one is no good. We are contaminated by the prevailing norm that only exists in the place of oppression. This body is no good. We wallow such excluded figures in the corral because nothing is ever enough. In this imagined scenario, the iron tells its story in the body, hard and violent, but there is excrement everywhere and we live in paradise.

In Utopia, Diana Niepce honours bodies for what they are through their own history and knowledge. Through the fascination of reconstructing her own body, the choreographer analyses and recreates contradictory representations of the object that is the body. She is interested in using the body as a raw, violent and erotic language, as a mirror of the body’s representativeness in society, without being forced to normalise it. Utopia is a performance based on the transgression and oppression of physical limits.
