Spine Of Desire: Wounds Without Tears, Out of One Skin in Diamonds and Shit is a performance that draws from individual and collective narratives to create an experience through sonic, visual, spatial, and dance elements. Stanley Ollivier’s new work takes as its starting point the community-building power of POC (People of Colour) belonging spaces to reformulate familiar choreographic approaches. Together with performers Lily Brieu Nguyen and Mamadou Wagué, they explore everyday reality and social change through a danced language that reflects the interrelations between intimacy, the body, and the creation of a guarded, safe space.
