A Danger Within Me: Seven Contacts for Days of Disbelief

The global pandemic confronted us worldwide, with the need and role of public space, where we perform ourselves as a society. This is the place where the body of the citizen meets the body of the state. Over the past year, the state has decided for its inhabitants when and where it is allowed to come together and whose body is dangerous. As citizens, we were compelled to accept and submit ourselves to these limitations and take responsibility for our own bodies and the public’s health. 
In these days, when touch is forbidden, Public Movement has gathered together nine performers of different ages, from childhood to elderly age, to perform seven choreographies of the public space. From these fragile times of crisis, the group maps and practices the civic potential of solidarity, disobedience, and compassion.
