Some Things Touch
Lii Ujčič and András Engelmann build an extremely intimate dialogue of the movement in which space becomes the source of poetics.
“Some Things Touch” is an invitation to caress, hold hands, and hug each other, a guide to touching and smiling at other people.
The piece explores the sense of touch and its importance. What’s unique about touch, when set against the other senses, is its mutuality. While we can look without being looked back at, we can’t touch without being touched in return.
Through touch we enter new spaces, often very intimate ones. Touch helps us to overcome boundaries. It connects us to the rest of the world.
By embedding the performance in an outdoor space, which is the theme of the performance, intimacy is juxtaposed with openness, the private with the casual spectator sharing the open public space.
