In the history of westerncivilization we appropriate the world in the form of images.
A civilisation of the gaze,founded on the primacy of theeye and the sovereignty of the observer subject.
What it means to see?
how necessary it is to exchange glances?
NOT ENOUGH TO SEE is a trans-disciplinary research that explores the sense of sight and the gaze.
This participatory and visual performance combines movement research, dialogues and interaction with the audience, theory, music and video installation. Based on interviews with the audience around the sense of sight, the theme of the eyes is treated on its organicity, but also as a tool to build an alternative kind of relationship founded on power balance and pleasure in the encounter. Emboding the ideas of the social and feminist Roslyn H.Bologh, during the live performance the participants are invited by the performer playing and moving along and around object of interest and interested subject, in order to build a temporary community.
