Fictions of the Flesh
“Fictions of the Flesh” (2021) is a site-specific solo performance that examines the relationship between the present, embodiment, and the figure of the stranger: all topics found within the current decolonial turn in art and academia. Choreographically speaking, “Fictions of the Flesh” draws from the body-mind-archive of Slåttøy, a trained jazz dancer, along with speculations on extended corporealities inspired by global future fictions. The performance is the first in a series of works that explore the boundaries of contemporaneity in dance and choreography from a decolonial perspective.
