Skin Contact

  • Dance
English / 

Two protagonists occupy the centre of the room: a mirror-obsessed humanoid and a dog who feels too much. Their gazes are piercing, their movements subtle and nuanced. Brooke Stamp and Juan Pablo Cámara, singular artists who have been working with Adam Linder for several years, inhabit hybrid zoopoetries in “Skin Contact”. Glitchy and anticipatory, they reveal the desire, competition and empathy of these last remaining species. Following on from his most recent exhibitions “Shelf Life” (MoMA 2020) and “Hustle Harder” (MCA Australia 2023), internationally renowned choreographer and dancer Adam Linder brings his approach to performance installations into the black box of a theatre for the first time: “Skin Contact” is a minimalistic study on the split between the animal nature of humans and their increasingly technological physicality.
