BILLY

Billy is a low-intensity power play between a group of dancers, where the competition between them challenges the present pleasantness amongst them.

In Billy they take on different power relations and objectify each other, like furniture or other things.

Calcified, they receive first our, then each others’ gazes, allowing themselves to slowly soften and get affected, in order to advance the previous image. 

The music is composed by the Santiago de Chile-based group Los Barbara Balde and adapted for the piece by composer Foad Arbabi.
