In the performance Study of a Stumble, she unravels the mechanics of the misstep and investigates the ripple effect of this unexpected event. What are the ingredients of a successful stumble? What happens when it occurs in a public space? What becomes of our sense of internal cohesion when a gesture escapes us, when our body’s coordination breaks down? What remains of our control when the mask slips and we stumble under others’ gaze? Can we make room for the unexpected and let ourselves be seen in moments of fragility?

  • Salomé Mooij se tient debout devant un tableau sur lequel elle explique les différentes techniques du trébuchement. Elle porte des bottes rouges et a les genoux pliés, c'est une pause assez marrante. Elle a un micro pour expliquer la situation.

  • Salomé Mooij is on stage. There is a broom lying on the floor and a board explaining how to stumble properly. She is either stumbling or pretending to stumble. There is movement—her arms are raised, one leg stretched out. She is wearing red ankle boots.
