«Elles affirment triomphant que tout geste est renversement.»
-Monique Wittig, Les Guérillères
In continuation with my research on the topic of Dangerous Women*, I wonder: how to propose a body (or bodies), a dance (or dances) that could be dangerous to hegemonic structures of power? In Swivel Open, this question puts my body at work through the materiality of a two meter high metallic structure, fully intertwined in a physical duo. In an attempt to (swivel) open, bend or deconstruct this structure, I work between technical manoeuvres, brutal force, risk taking, mathematical precision, gentleness and refined sensuality to fuel a dance that allows complexity, where multiple relational modes can appear and exist simultaneously.
