Body Comes Apart
Choreographed & Performed by Molly Lieber & Eleanor Smith

Memories take on a mythology and fantasy of their own, making shared experiences of sexual trauma alive in the moment and fodder for manipulation. Body Comes Apart is a collage of dance, monologue, of teaching fake workout classes, telling real and fake stories of our pasts, speaking to ourselves as children. There is shedding and trying on; clothes become analogous to history. Language becomes a vehicle for representation and a gateway to performing enlivened imagination. As we implicate ourselves and the audience with mirrors, we implicate fantasies forced upon us and derived from us with the text.

Note: This performance contains nudity.
