Dance & Performance: babes

"What have been called microbes, is in fact god." – Antonin Artaud

Through a set of fantastic organs, "babes" introduces a form of worlding that doesn’t stop at the body’s borders. These organs don’t have vital functions: their byproducts are dances, sounds, objects and poems – a gathering of lovers in lust for touch.

"babes" cultivates a space where fantasy does matter, matter does fantasy, and where sensual experiences are one’s primary way of staying in touch with the world. "babes" is the prelude to farkas’ first evening-length group piece "mama" and the first work created through "organ-ing", a choreographic research queering the body by weaving together fantasy with its physically felt sense.
