The work unfolds over four episodes and is a choreographic mediation on the relationships between affection, touch, desire and loss. Each episode has its specific embodied vocabulary through which the performers navigate intimate and fragmentary exchanges, reflecting on the edges of subjectivity, corporeality and relationality. The piece proposes another relationship with duration and attempts to produce a community of visitors by having the work unfold over a period of 4 to 8 weeks. The reflection on the temporal, the haptic and collective intentionality present in The tremble, the symptom, the swell and the hole together are central aspects of Baczynski-Jenkins’ practice.
