Description
A bold exploration into chronic pain experience by Sarah Hopfinger, which unashamedly celebrates the rich complexities of living with pain. Layering playful choreography, experimental movement, intimate autobiographical text and original music by Alicia Jane Turner, Hopfinger asks 'What does it mean to care for our bodies, ourselves, and each other in times of personal and collective pain?' in this powerful, honest, and compelling solo performance. Diversely accessible: available as a live performance, audio experience and visual publication. 'Poetic... piece that reflects on the performer's chronic pain not as enemy... but as an old friend' **** (Guardian).
