UNFAILING

A SHORT DANCE FILM IN COLLABORATION WITH SASKIA OIDTMANN, NORA WETZEL AND SIMON BAUER.
​

IN THIS SHORT CHOREOGRAPHIC PIECE MADE FOR VIDEO, IXCHEL MENDOZA HERNÁNDEZ GETS INSPIRATION FROM THE CIRCLE, SYMBOLIZING WHOLNES, ETERNITY, TIMELESSNESS. EXPLORING THE SIMPLICITY AND POTENTIALITY OF A CIRCULAR MOTION, THE BODY EVOLVES SLOWLY AND UNFOLDS PERSISTENTLY, AND BECOMES A MOTOR FOR A CHOREOGRAPHY. A PATH CONNECTING ENDLESSLY A BEGINNING AND AN END, AS AN ONGOING CYCLE BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH. 

“THERE IS A TENSION BETWEEN THE BEGINNING AND THE END. IT WITHHOLDS ALL AND EVERYTHING EMERGES OUT OF IT”
