Felipe Soto | K3 Hamburg – Zentrum für Choreographie | July 3 – 9, 2023

Field report on the project ‘Körper im Widerstand’ (‘Bodies in Resistance’) by Felipe Soto/Felipe Fizkal Project with Liam Wustrack, Emmanouella Dolianiti & Marcel Casablanca
The Body in Resistance project examines and analyses the development of the human body’s resistance in times of displacement and hardship through choreography. We observe and interpret the experiences of migrants who have to leave their countries for climatic, warlike or political reasons because the conditions for the development of society are no longer given. How the body resists dangerous travelling conditions, camping at the borders and police violence. This residency allowed us to observe and explore choreographic materials that interpret the culture of these migrant bodies and their support mechanisms. It gave us the opportunity to recognise the need to further deepen the research methods and the composition of choreographic works that are an invitation to the critical thinking of the decentralised audience in the country that is currently experiencing refugee peoples hosted in their places due to current disasters.
