Initial Boost

“Initial Boost” examines the physical and psychological effort of human beings required to dominate and overcome another human body. The interaction between them begins with an abstract impulse, which expands into a game without a winner and loser, when a body simultaneously gives and receives energy.
Of high significance for the performance are the visual representations and the stream of energy that blurs the boundaries of the subject and object. 

“The symbol is a new synthesis in which the mystery and the answer are one.” – Carl Jung
