«Glistening (Remembering the Unknown)» is an invitation to a journey into somatic* fiction – a dance performance that opens pathways to experience connection. Glistening (literally: wet shining) evokes a new or long-forgotten sense, a form of embodied attentiveness, technology rooted in touch, fluidity, and change across time and space. When glistening, the whole body listens and communicates: giving and receiving, changing and being changed. The movements of the performers emerge from intimate gestures, shared storytelling and physical vocabularies rooted in the DIVAS multiverse.** 

As the performers move, they are glistening - in constant exchange with other beings and  the environment created on stage with water, light, sound, video and fog. The audience is invited to glisten-with, to pass several portals without leaving their seat, to descend inside their own body as a site of knowledge, connection and transformation.

Glossary

*In somatics, the "soma" is the living body as experienced from within. “Soma” encompasses the mind, body, and spirit as an integrated, self- and co-regulating system in exchange with its surroundings. 

**DIVAS multiverse: DIVAS embrace connections and multiple perspectives, moving and transforming together, always in plural. DIVAS stand for a queer urge to nourish and share the strength that comes from both difference and interdependence between us.
