A mesmerising blend of movement and narrative, idk examines the private and public territories of the body throughout our lifetimes and the nuances of navigating multiple dimensions of consent. As we recall the firsts that shape us, unpick experiences that get under our skin, and encounter delicate conversations between our bodies, this work encourages exploration of the unsure and unspoken in human interaction.
idk is a world premiere performance piece in which three bodies interweave movement, memory and vocal roulette, inviting audiences to discover the edges of their own boundaries, and provoking a new way to continue the conversation about consent.
