In full international acclaim, artist Simona Deaconescu presents "BLOT - Body Line of Thinking," a performance created in collaboration with Canadian choreographer Vanessa Goodman. BLOT, a powerful and compelling work performed by Simona Dabija and Maria Luiza Dimulescu, discusses our relationship with bacteria.

BLOT - Body Line of Thought
42’ / performance / 2022 / RO, CA, PT
by Simona Deaconescu & Vanessa Goodman
BLOT explores movement in relation to the bacteria in our body. The show presents the body as an interconnected system, strong and fragile at the same time. Stripped of the social meanings determined by language, the body is redefined through a dialogue about our coexistence with microbiological beings. In BLOT, our salts are a conductor of creativity, electricity, and infection. Salt is shared by all, from ocean to soil and body, and is an essential supporter of life on earth. A dune of salt creates a collective body on stage. Our perspiration system defines our biological identity through our unique body odor created by bacteria.
