𝗢𝗥𝗕𝗜𝗧𝗔𝗟 𝗚𝗘𝗦𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗘 proposes the “migration” of skateboarding from the street to the stage. We begin with the performative appropriation of skateboarding as a tool for dialogue with others, which places us at the center of an abstract and subjective experience fueled by the engine of repetition.

Through skateboarding, we not only redefine our mode of locomotion, but also our anatomical condition, our gestures, our gaze, and our relationship with others. Skateboarding becomes the mediating element with everything around us. The trajectories traced between the two bodies weave an experiential kaleidoscope in which the gesture that propels them into space is the very same one that enables dialogue between them. The objective constraints of skateboarding are themselves the raw material for the subjectivity of the gestures.
