Emergency Routine

Emergency Routine activates civic alliances as they are performed between bodies in moments of danger. Today, when governments frequently debate the need for 'Civil Resilience', and when biopolitical ties between state and citizens are being reexamined- Public Movement proposes a collective physical and mental gathering that emerges from the joint practice of movement of solidarity and governance.

Echoing the state's elusive hand that reaches and touches the citizens under the auspices of protection, the exercise invites audience members to be carried away, allowing physical touch and bodily manipulation, to experience imaginary and documented acts of violence, and choreographies of care.
