A stage interpretation of selected themes of Ania Nowak’s two year study of love as a political category. Nowak is interested in the non-normative definition of love as a corporal and linguistic practice as well as a fantasy on atypical forms of intimacy; love, moreover, in broader terms, understood as a social muscle that is constantly flexed. Hence the performance isn’t a universal love story but rather a choreography of questions about collective and individual desires. If – as Yvonne Rainer says – feelings are facts, then what are the consequences of the knowledge produced by bodies and affects for the choreography of our relationships on and offstage?
