“No longer feeling cramped in your own skin”.

CALOR brings together on stage three bodies with an initial temperature of 37°C. Three performers embark on a physical investigation, traversing the different scales of heat produced by their bodies and their encounter. A thermal surge that seeks to ignite us from within, reaching a body that expands until it can no longer fit within the confines of its skin. A radical expansion of intimate space, becoming shared space, blurring the boundaries of self and other through ecstasy and dreams.

CALOR is the second work in a triptych of performative practices whose starting point is an extended reflection on the barrier that envelops us and defines the contours of our being: the skin. In this part, the boundaries of our body are put into perspective through a quest to reach a body in expansion.

Is it possible to exist in some way beyond these limits (physical and metaphorical)? Would this require a form of altruism, the creation of a common space? And finally, how might dance be a way forward in the quest for this expansion?
