The dorsal chance

‘The dorsal chance’ crystallizes the instant of a threshold. A body seen from behind is exposed: performer or spectator. On a frontier that is both front and back, it passes through and experiences an inner elasticity. One stands on the place of departure, or perhaps of detour. A shift of attention towards the out-of-sight awakes the sensation of the back and triggers the taste of the unforeseen. In this fragile posture emerges the possibility of a turn.
