How does empathy travel beyond the edges of the human body, into materials, sounds, and environments? And what tension unfolds in the space between bodies? This performance is as a choreography of layers, resonances, and distributed attention within Sahej Rahal’s exhibition Beyond the City of Time. In dialogue with Rahal’s morphing biomes – swarming tentacles, insect-like particles, and touch-responsive meshes – the performance evolves as a network of relations in constant communication between the human and more-than-human, animate and inanimate, present and imagined. Listening with the skin, negotiating boundaries, and experiencing the body as porous, the performers navigate the paradox of touch: even in its absence, it remains the ground of perception.

We look forward to seeing you on Wednesday, April 15, at 6 pm. Tickets will be available for purchase at the entrance to Galerie Rudolfinum before the event begins.

The performance will be preceded by a workshop Ecology of Closeness: Practices of Empathy with choreographer and performer Alica Minar on Tuesday, April 14, from 4 pm to 6 pm at Galerie Rudolfinum. More information about the workshop can be found here.
