About this performance
Maneries [from Manare: spring form, emergence] works the body as linguistic material. Taking iconic, motivated and arbitrary signs, the performer builds and explores a series of tests on the limits of her formal capacities. These forms, having gone through time, constantly build, destroy and expose the body as producer of possible universes and perceptions over time.
We have reached the point in which we speak about language; we speak about the sign, the word itself. It is gone: Language has evolved from us. Are we talking about image or is image talking about us? Inside or outside of language we are skirting the limits of understanding. Maneries refers neither to a universal, nor a particular, it embraces both, like an example.
“Maneries is also about imagination, and the bodily production of imagination.” - Luis Garay
Filmed at the Salvage Vanguard Theater
Presented by the Fusebox Festival
