“Naturstudy: Debility-Decibel” is based on the question how movement develops out of a substantial pre-existence, before body and movement is “culturally domesticates” as a dance, as a ritual or as a social habitus.The same questions becomes at the voice. What speaks and from where it comes. Plumbing in inner downs – the sea of insanity.
