Choreographer Ola Maciejewska’s (Poland, 1984) The Second Body explores the dynamic of two bodies: her own physical body and a block of ice. Her body and the ice meet in a visually stunning, unsettling choreography.
The performance is neither duet or solo, but a ‘choreographic object’. Through touch, lifting, sliding and embracing, a delicate symbiosis emerges in which the line between human and element is blurred. Inspired by Daisy Hildyard’s book The Second Body, in which people have two bodies - the tangible body and the ‘diffuse’, which is constantly interacting with the world around us -, Maciejewska takes this idea to the dancefloor.
In The Second Body, Maciejewska invites us not just to look at the physical interaction, but also reflect on the mutable relationship between humans and nature. The piece highlights the fragile beauty of these transformations and explores how our ever-changing bodies are interwoven with surrounding ecosystems.
