Seren Oroszvary "A BODY TO DWELL" PREMIERE

Start & End Location: Tallinn Linnahall

You are invited on a journey in one breath.
An inhale, an exhale. 

What happens in between? 

“The house was fighting gallantly. From the
very beginning of the storm, snarling winds had
been taking the roof to task, trying to pull it off,
to break its back, tear it into shreds, suck it off.

But it only hunched over further and clung to
the old rafters. Everything swayed under the
shock of this blow, but the flexible house stood
up to the beast. 

The already human being in whom I had sought
shelter for my body yielded nothing to the storm...”

Henri Bosco,
Malicroix, 1946

The house and the body are spaces that inhabit and are inhabited. A Body To Dwell is a night of rearranging oneself in these spaces.

What if your house was a living body?

We spend this life with a body and a house, putting things into them and taking things out. 

So, what do you let enter, and what do you let go?
