Performance by Begüm Erciyas
People touch the world with their hands. Their touch creates relationships of closeness and intimacy while making them aware of their separation from the world. Yet their touch is increasingly mediated by technologies that change the way people experience themselves and others.
The performance “Hands Made” by choreographer Begüm Erciyas, which Radialsystem is showing as a Berlin premiere as part of the series “Conjunctions – Acts of being in relation”, invites us to rethink our relationship to hands and imagine how they have changed throughout history and their role in a future society
In the performance “Hands Made”, the audience’s hands are the focus. The audience is asked to observe their own hands and those of their neighbors, creating an effect of intimacy and alienation. Separated from the rest of the body, the hands become the focus of a reflection on handwork, touch and touch. What have these hands been doing? Who or what will they touch in the future?
