DIRTY, by Juan Domínguez (Programme preview!)

Starting from the concrete experience of touching clay with the hands, Juan Domínguez proposes, in this performative and participatory installation, paying attention to senses beyond sight, such as touch and hearing.
The work explores a form of listening through contact, and contact as a form of knowledge. Two questions run through the piece: what do I hear when I touch? What do I touch when I listen? The work reflects on the importance of what happens between bodies as they listen and touch together.
Duration: 90 minutes
