Rorschach Touch is an exploration of perception in the context of gendered bodies, but with the wish to go beyond gendered limitations.
It hopes to ask the viewer – “How do you see?”. While it allows and invites you to get close and personal with the performers by really leaning in, it also gives you a sensorial experience brought about through movement and touch.
The work is intimate and asks you to be present, to sink in, get carried away and also to look into your own self. It is a deeply personal work and treats the body and its states with sensitivity, humour and intense candour.
The hope is that while you watch the piece, you will really be witnessing yourself, getting to know what disturbs or stimulates you, what interests or offends you… even what you desire and shy away from and how you interpret human interactions.
The piece was created for Gender Bender 2016 produced by Sandbox Collective and Goethe-Institut Bangalore.
