Title: 3 Ways To Master A Kiss Or A Twentyfiveminutes Kiss At Your Neck
Choreographer: Aitana Cordero
Venue: The Frascati Theatre, as part of the 2011 “Something Raw Festival”
Curator: Sonja Augart
A kiss is a kiss is a… The Spanish choreographer Aitana Cordero removes the usual context and meaning from the kiss in a performance which probes the boundaries of taste, sexuality, intimacy and violence. On stage, a group of people do their utmost to get closer to one another by kissing each other, however their desire is continually tested and destroyed. During an exceptional performance we see various performers kiss a single young woman in many different ways. Cordero’s work is terrible in its humanity and is remorselessly physical.
