Ninguna mano es una isla

Laura Llaneli and Julián Pacomio
12 December, 7pm
Il Salotto, Blueproject Foundation

Two unsettled pairs of hands try to find the gaps in other hands. Wrinkled skin comes into contact with dry skin. Water, as it waits, thickens, making contactless connections more discernible. The island is heard, it resonates, it becomes a word. Ninguna mano es una isla is a vindication of touch. A performance on haptic potential. A concert that takes place when hands reach out and apply strong pressure. Blood palpitating on your fingertips. A conduction of the sonorous through humidity and wetness.
