KIND is a practice, a support, and an embrace.
A place where a fragile body finds anchors and points of support; where holding on to another body —to hold and be held— shapes an ethics of interdependence and, at the same time, a political and poetic gesture.
KIND is an intimate and collective encounter that affirms vulnerability as a force, and uncertainty as a fertile territory for what “might still come to be.” A place of the “not yet,” where creation is understood as an open, impermanent, and unfinished process in constant becoming.
In KIND, present and absent bodies enter into dialogue: the voices of Simone Weil, Giorgio Agamben, and Pepe Espaliú resonate in the performer, who listens to and embodies memories, fragilities, and resistances.
Thus, KIND draws inspiration from Espaliú’s Carrying action, where the embrace and the act of holding a seropositive body becomes a political act and a gesture of shared survival. From Weil, it echoes her notions of decreation —the voluntary suspension of the ego and control in order to open oneself to what transcends the self— proposing a state of radical receptivity. And following Agamben’s reading, automatisms are interrupted and systems deactivated, to reveal other ways of being together in which it is not necessary to abolish what already exists, but rather to open cracks through which the possible may enter.
