Program

‎Corpus, by Xavier Bobés, is an encounter ‎between a sculpture, an object manipulator and a musician. A whispered scenic dialogue in ‎which only 25 people can participate in each performance. The artist ‎proposes an exploration of the movement of a sculptural object in relation to the human ‎body, animals and plants. A poetic reflection on the practice of objectifying that seeks a way ‎to interpret, transform and depict it.‎‎Corpus is also a journey between a man and his form, an ‎impossible dialogue unravelling the hours of a person’s life, retracing his steps, becoming ‎smaller and eventually disappearing again.‎

One step, a second step with the other foot. A tree, a rest and a bird. I hug the tree. I can ‎hear a tune… Is it the bird? Is it the wind? Is it the tree?‎

My body is my home; this home that is who I am metamorphoses, deteriorates, becomes ‎corrupted. It is sometimes impassable, sometimes susceptible to doubt, to time, to the ‎elements.‎

‎Corpus explores the movement of a sculptural object in ‎relation to the human body, animals and plants. The objectification of the bond that each ‎person has with their own “object body”, revealing its poetic meaning and analysing its ‎possibilities for interpretation, transformation, visual representation and movement.‎
