5. Bulgarian Dance Platform // 19. ANTISTATIC: confession of a sigh

In a world that extracts articulation, optimizes breathing, and mechanizes every movement, what would happen if we surrendered to the unspoken—to that which refuses to be anything other than escaping air? What would happen if, instead of speaking, we sighed?

In her new work, Iskra Prodanova, together with her collaborators, explores the sigh as a phenomenon, as a silent rebellion, on the threshold, in between, where the air is refusal and escape from punctuation, from the dualistic structure of language, and becomes the language of the unspoken. The sigh, where it intertwines with other sighs, creates a polyphonic sound analysis of the feelings within us.
