In an exceptionally dynamic and humorous choreography, Nagabczyńska relates philosophical reflections on corporeality to the state of pregnancy, perceived as an intense “sense of inner well-being.” She presents pregnancy as an experience that transcends the individual. Although medicine tries to categorize it, it remains unpredictable and anxiety-inducing. In the choreography, the performer explores the transformation of body and emotions, drawing on myths and horror films.
The performance is produced by the Ochota Cultural Centre as part of the (M)others on Tour project, within Perform Europe.
