‘This resting, patience’ is simultaneously a ghostly archive of fallow sensuality, an installative kinetic fade-out and a somatic (strip) tease. Full of attraction, self-chosen objectification, closeness and the aesthetics of exposure. Together with her stage partner Leah Marojević, Dziarnowska skilfully combines historical conceptualism with the narcissism of today.

The performance, lasting over three hours, questions expectations of the passivity of installation and at the same time subverts the temporal and dramaturgical resolutions of performance. Here, dance is not staged as an alienated spectacle, but rather as a form of sociability - timeless and democratic. With a radical dedication to the body, ‘This resting, patience’ creates a future that remains eternally in limbo and constantly unfolds anew - completely tender, enchanting and attentive.
