\n<\/strong>This presentation is happening with the support of Perform Europe as part of the Body Landscapes. An Ecofeminist Perspective<\/em><\/strong> project.<\/p>\n

Recent environmental events underscore the importance of viewing the body as part of its inner ecosystem. BLOT\u2014Body Line of Thought<\/i>, a groundbreaking hybrid show, embodies this concept through a trance-inducing performance by nude bodies. This innovative piece, created by Romanian-Canadian duo Simona Deaconescu and Vanessa Goodman<\/b>, explores the relationship between movement and the bacteria within us. It highlights shared traits between humans and animals\u2014sweating, scent, reproduction, and immunity\u2014revealing how bacteria influence these aspects and connect us to the Earth.
\nPremiering in 2022 at the National Centre for Dance in Bucharest, BLOT<\/i> benefits from the insights of visual arts curator Olivia Ni\u021bis and feminist bio-artist Marta de Menezes. Featuring two talented Romanian dancers, Simona Dabija and Maria Luiza Dimulescu, the performance examines our unique microbial footprints, constantly altered through interactions and resource exchanges. BLOT<\/i>, a thought-provoking performance, challenges audiences to rethink the concept of identity, emphasizing the continuous interplay between our inner ecosystems and the environment.<\/p>\n
