Camilla Strandhagen – A Blurry Thing

A Blurry Thing is a stagework for two performers and one musician.
 
It emerges from the perceptual phenomenon of dissociation, a corporal defense mechanism, a rupture between felt senses, cognitive connections, and directed attention. The piece explores how (chronic) illness may transform body perception and generate estrangement from oneself. Beginning from the premise that a sick body demands new fictions, the choreographic language turns toward ambiguity, toward the threshold where hegemonic definitions lose grip and choreographic imaginaries can emerge from the body’s own undoing. Two performers and one musician disperse a body into many presences through syncopation and blurring. Presence leaks into absence, unity scatters into something unnamable. Blurring becomes a methodology and necessity for resisting fixed categories, and opens up alternative epistemologies beyond normative frameworks.
