Caricias

Three dancers occupy a white, lunar world.  A milky room  likened to a membrane, separate and simultaneously links them together.

Their bodies, central and visible are animated like a flame, vibrating and flickering unceasingly.  A feminine force becomes tangible and fills the space giving way to an  intemporal confusion.

Sensuality builds to a subliminal tide and circulates through the body like a cobra attracted to light.

The succession of tableaux gives Caricias a dimension of feeling: a signal of an emotional vibration, subtle and visceral.  We are invited to a dance; the dance of our desire…
