The Infinite Gesture
By Ixchel Mendoza Hernández
A journey into the realm of interconnectedness: The performance The Infinite Gesture by Ixchel Mendoza Hernández explores the transformative power of touch. The piece immerses the audience in an intertwined choreographic landscape where three bodies continuously encounter one another, negotiating their relationship.
The Infinite Gesture examines various perspectives on connection, from skin- to-skin contact to symbolic, metaphysical, and societal dimensions. The trio opens up a multiplicity of possibilities, embracing the tension and potential that arise from close proximity. In this journey, touch becomes a vehicle, allowing each encounter to take its own shape and offering the possibility of transformative experiences.
The Infinite Gesture premiered at Radialsystem Berlin in December 2024.
