2M.2

2m.2 is a choreographic exploration of relational dynamics, identity, and the tension between freedom and constraint. This participatory project situates two performers, one fixed and one newly invited, within an undefined spatial and conceptual framework. Bound together by a long rope, their shared movement engages in a choreo-political dialogue, interrogating notions of autonomy, interdependence, and the body as a site of negotiation.

The rope, as both a physical and symbolic connector, evokes the enduring presence of roots, traditions, and historical inheritances that shape one’s identity. Drawing on Édouard Glissant’s notion of relation—the idea that identities are constructed in constant interaction and interconnection—it emphasizes that no body is ever truly independent. Instead, it exists in a state of continuous negotiation with its past and its environment, whether that interaction is generative or limiting.
