AND EVERYTHING IS POROUS AS A BODILY CRACK (2024)

In this performance Alicé and Kmila travel through intimate, sci-fi, distorted galaxies to talk about what is so hard to explain. They create a utopian dimension where chronic illness is no longer an invisible shadow but a tangible creature.
Diving into "Spoonieland", a horizontally damaged epidermis-like surface, they can finally transform into their dismissed and imperceptible chronic conditions: they become autoantibodies rebelling against compulsory healthiness; they become grub-lovers melting into sleep, chronic pain and panic attacks. They play each other's guardians in search of care and pleasure.
