Fragmented Bodies draws inspiration from Giorgio Agamben’s writings on Homo Sacer, the human reduced to bare life, stripped of name, identity, and rights, existing at the threshold between life and death, inclusion and exclusion.
In this piece, the body becomes a site of erasure and resistance. It is thrown into confinement, a corner, a void, a non-place, where existence itself becomes an act of defiance. These bodies, deprived of voice and visibility, begin to move, to tremble, to reclaim fragments of humanity that power has tried to erase.
The choreography dissects the body as both a political and poetic territory. Every gesture reveals the tension between control and freedom, domination and breath. Movement emerges not from beauty but from necessity,a visceral impulse to exist, to be seen, to be acknowledged.
The dancers embody the contradictions of the Homo Sacer: they are alive, yet socially dead; visible, yet unseen; human, yet denied humanity. Their fragmented presence becomes a mirror of our world, a reflection of those silenced, displaced, and forgotten.
Ultimately, Fragmented Bodies is a cry for recognition, a haunting meditation on what remains when the structures of belonging collapse, and all that is left is the trembling truth of flesh, the fragile persistence of being.
