Fragile
When we were children, we used to think that when we were grown-up we would no longer be vulnerable. But to grow up is to accept vulnerability… To be alive is to be vulnerable.
Madeleine L’Engle
Synopsis
Synopsis
It’s an immersive, itinerant experience that explores vulnerability, risk and the beauty of being sustained from the most delicate part of the body. Through the technique of hair suspension and contemporary dance unfolds a physical and emotional journey where every gesture becomes a vital metaphor. Fragility turns into strength. And what once seemed impossible becomes suspended poetry.
The rope traces a shared path with the audience, who not only observes, but walks, listens, influences and ultimately decides:
Could they hold that body altogether, even from the most fragile part?

Inspiration: “The power of vulnerability” — Brené Brown.
It is not just a show, but an immersive, itinerant action designed for unconventional spaces. It is a physical and poetic intervention in public space, where the spectator does not simply observe, they step into the thread, they share the weight, the risk, the responsibility of lifting a body suspended only by the hair. I want the audience to walk with me, to witness up close the effort and the fragility of a body carried by the hair. This is not an interactive show in the traditional sense, but an intimate experience. The place does not simply frame the work, it transforms and enters into dialogue with it. Each performance takes on new thematic and sensory nuances based on the space it inhabits.
The rope, the thread that both tenses and sustains, can be read as a metaphor for the connection between living beings and environment, if it is cut, ignored or pulled beyond its limits… everything can collapse.
The body suspended by the hair, something so feminized, becomes here a centre of power, resistance and unapologetic beauty. The work recognises the body as a vulnerable territory, exposed to violence to structures that pull and entangle it. This recognition resonates with real endangered ecosystems and bodies marginalised by systems of power.
