discoordinate
changeling
something other than a shroud
all the things ever said
sometimes feels like something’s meant
closer
keep in touch

just that it takes time to keep coming back to life
touch me everywhere softer
never collect dust
replicas and relics always remain restless
the wreckage
we are all amazons

Split, part, divide, peel back. Is different. Does surface. We’re like shells with bendy legs, but skin would call a poor eye simple.
It’s easy to deceive. It’s easy to tease, but hard to get release.



Schil // 2019 // Multimedia Performance // 15 min
Premiered at New Blood Performance Festival // Links Hall // Chicago
Schil in Dutch, means to peel, and is also the root word for verschil, or difference.

Schil questions the boundaries of bodies and identities and asks us to consider the nature of vulnerability, the longing for connection, and the basic generosity of being a social and self-virtualizing creature.
