Not One, Not Two

3. May. 2025. Studio Theatre. London

<Not One, Not Two> is a somatic performance and sculptural environment that reimagines the body not as an isolated entity, but as a cellular node within a larger ecology of movement, matter, and memory. Working with inflatable latex forms, metal installations, and choreographies of shared weight, the piece enacts a slow unfolding of relation between performers, objects, and the porous space they co-inhabit.

 

Rooted in somatic methodologies and informed by cellular biology and plant anatomy, the work explores how bodies, both human and non-human adapt, remember, and resist. Performers move in pairs or clusters, exchanging mass and momentum through physical negotiation. Each interaction draws attention to the invisible labor of support and the micro-adjustments of trust, vulnerability, and breath.

 

The sculptural elements such as latex membranes, balloon fields, metal extensions do not merely occupy the space, but breathe with it. They serve as prosthetic skins, soft organs, or architectural residues of presence, tracing the boundaries where the inner and outer, the self and other, begin to blur. Audience members are invited not just to observe, but to inhabit this shared cellular field, contributing their breath to the environment and altering its atmospheric tension.

 

<Not One, Not Two> is not a spectacle of separateness, but a meditation on interbeing. It offers a proposition: that belonging is not a fixed point of arrival, but a continuous, biological becoming entangled, unstable, and alive.
