Lucid

I'm dreaming that I’m dancing around a big square with two of my friends, in front of many people sitting and looking at us. We recite our own private stories, and the stories trap us inside them. We're all in the same situation. The people around us have their own stories as well, and these stories turn into a huge bird, and I fly high with it. I wake up.

Lucid examines storytelling without mediation, focusing on how personal narratives are constructed, embodied, and transformed. Throughout the piece, the three dancers speak texts drawn from their own lives. Yet the audience cannot clearly identify which story belongs to whom. The text is composed of body-based narratives — memories, scars, physical traits, family histories, illness, and genetics — exposing the subtle tensions of living as separate individuals within a shared time and place. The work unfolds as a linear journey. It begins in biography — fragments of lived experience — and gradually shifts into the realm of dreams. From there, another layer emerges: the contemporary, the meta-present, where the body itself generates new stories. Over time, text and movement begin to intersect, until their materials converge into a newly formed narrative. Speech and movement, initially distinct, slowly merge, dissolving the boundary between body and story.
