Poetics of Intimate
Encounters
In times of political uncertainty, ignorance, anxiety and individualization, there is a need to question and rephrase how we connect and relate to each other. Using a "study on touch” score, we replace verbal communication with a tactile and sensory exploration that can lead to a body of togetherness, which neither loses itself in, nor imposes its power over the other. By delving into different modes of touch, we explore the dynamics of sexual energies where the “poetics of intimate encounters” can be investigated.
