Lenio Kaklea
A Hand’s Turn
Our gestures might carry stories of which we are unconscious. In the so-called primitive societies, one could not have a face if one did not wear a mask. In contemporary Western democracies, the opposite holds true: individuals can experience identity only by maintaining an uncovered face. If the quest for transparency has become the core of our liberal democracies and a trivial tool of state control, how do our bodies remain opaque and mysterious, after all?
A Hand’s Turn is the new choreographic work by Lenio Kaklea, a performance for a single or a couple of visitors. In the form of a 25-minute private session, the choreographer investigates functional, political, and symbolic dimensions of the left-right division, examining the tension between face and mask, body and face. After the appointment, the viewers will be able to purchase part of the choreography in the form of a book. What was an intimate exchange between the two, the visitor and the performer, can be now experienced in the visitor’s intimate space by the visitor alone.
