NAKED BODIES IN VIRTUAL SPACES OF EXCEPTION

THE CHOREOGRAPHIC AND PERFORMANCE WORK OF URSINA TOSSI IS CONCERNED WITH THE BODY AND ITS POTENTIAL FOR RESISTANCE. BARE BODIES REFLECTS ON AGAMBEN’S CONCEPT OF “BARE LIFE“: NAKED BODIES PLACED IN VIRTUAL SPACES OF EXCEPTION ARE OBJECTS OF POLITICAL INQUIRY AND STRATEGIC AFFECT. REFERENCING SCIENCE FICTION AND POLITICAL PROTEST THE NAKED BODY CONSIDERS ITS PRECARITY AND ITS RESISTANT POTENTIAL. IN THIS WORK WE BRING CHOREOGRAPHIC AND PHILOSOPHICAL ISSUES INTO PROXIMITY AND WE SEARCHE FOR A SPACE OF POLITICAL ACTION.
