After a one year long intensive writing process for a book, I felt as if my body had to be reawakened from its imperceptible and slowly ongoing disappearance. Through writing, the body had become immaterial, it has somehow lost its consistence and its landmarks, the meaning of movement not to say “dance”... I had to go through a ritual of fishing the disappeared body out of its state of inexistence and integrate it again into reality. The performance was in the longest night of the year with an outside temperature of -10°C. The cold outside-air became part of the resistances to overcome… so that my “frozen” body could become animated again.
