Khôra

English

When the space for the body gets smaller and smaller

We are in trouble. Whether it's war in Europe or a climate emergency, we are constantly faced with acute, existential concerns that threaten our species. In Khôra, Astrid Boons philosophizes about a posthuman world and the social dissolution we are going through.

Posthuman because we are increasingly turning toward a future in which technology is leading. And dissolution because the space for the body in this future is getting smaller and smaller. What is the impact of this denial of our lived bodily experience? And what does it mean for our sense of being human? In Khôra, her most ambitious production to date, Astrid Boons attempts to answer these questions. Five performers embrace different possibilities of embodiment and search for ways to re-ground themselves in our humanity.
