This performance, featuring four performers who identify as women, explores sexual fantasies through a female gaze. By questioning how to deconstruct the very notion of a "male" or "female" gaze in the act of choreography, Céline Bellut together with three dancers and one singer, worked to avoid fixed representations of sexuality and the female body. The goal is to explore fantasies as something that cannot be fully captured or represented. Here, women's bodies are celebrated as subjects of desire, creators of fantasies, and agents of sensations. The fixed representation of their bodies, movements, or stories is intentionally challenged during the performance, offering a fluid and liberated perspective on female identity and desire.
Oranges aren't the only fruits, there are also berries, and 'Hold on' taught me uses for berries that I would never have imagined, even in my wildest dreams.
