Body Story

When was the last time your body felt happy? When did it feel the most tense? How many injuries has your body sustained? Under what circumstances have you pushed it to its limits?

The successful body. The authoritarian body. The sweaty body. The becoming body. The complete body. The eternal body. The digital body. The ancestral body. The hidden body. What does your body remember?

In this debut solo work by acclaimed dance artist Xin Ji, the story of his body unravels through moments where the emotional and physical collide. Uncertainty, recklessness and euphoria slide into an intimate personal narrative – offering ways to consider our bodies as vehicles for resistance and alchemy.

“Deeply personal, almost autobiographical, yet universally relatable… a thought-provoking and unforgettable performance.” – Blackguard

Initially developed with Auckland Pride
