flesh chariot, chariot of flesh

In Driscoll’s new commission for Cullberg (Sweden), flesh chariot, chariot of flesh, the performers exist in a state of “separate-togetherness,” navigating a porous boundary between individual agency and collective emergence. The group vibrates into scenes, dissolves into masses, collides in and out of coherence, riding waves of force that rupture stillness into collapse, an ecstatic overcoming.

The architecture reveals itself in layers—soft, hard, sunken, protruding—inviting a destabilized reading of depth, time, and gravity. As the body rides and is ridden by force, we ask: how does a body metabolize the uncontainable?
