Two protagonists occupy the centre of the room: their movements are nuanced and articulate as they slide between naturalistic, athletic, animalistic and digital layers. Brooke Stamp and Juan Pablo Cámara, singular artists who have been working with Adam Linder for several years, embody themselves and others in on an unfolding journey. Glitchy and anticipatory – in an immersive, enigmatic stage setting – their (non) human relations are revealed with desire, rejection and empathy.
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 strange intimacies of dance.
