Corpus Null, 2021
Anywhere Festival
Inspired by Deleuze and Guattari’s concept Body Without Organs, Corpus Null inhabits the intensity between the desiring and desired. This work of butoh dance theatre reflects on the positioning of the body within capitalism as both its function and its evasion. This tension is mirrored in cycles of symbiotic genesis and extinction and attempts to exist between becoming and undoing, in the void of unattainable desire.
Corpus Null is written, directed and performed by Cedar Roppola, with an ensemble of artists; Cieon Hilton, Rufio Max, El Pantaleon, Alana Brekelmans, and sound design by Orthotyp-a.
