A necessary dose of cosmic light. Three celestial bodies launched into orbit, vibrating in a lustful and hypnotic ritual.
Composed of celestial, vibrating bodies launched into hypnotic, ritualistic orbit, DOG RISING imitates the current of life — the circulation of matter. From primal impulses to a sometimes-sexual, sometimes-mechanical gesture, Clara Furey’s new creation is a polyphony where bodies pulsate in unison and in dissonance. Furey continues the approach inspired by the physical phenomena begun with Cosmic Love, lingering on the journey of sound vibrations in the bones, the skeletal absorption of external shocks, and the deep, visceral listening through which the body communicates.
Empathy and attentive listening to the needs of the body and of others feed this inhabited trio, which works on movement in duration, persistence, seeking to release tensions by insisting on the repetition of infinite loops. DOG RISING invites to an extreme physical journey a bewitching, haunting, penetrating spiral. An invitation to build and regenerate physical strength from shocks — from discomfort mutated into joy.
