Utopia
In Utopia, Diana Niepce honours bodies for what they are through their own history and knowledge. Through the fascination of reconstructing her own body, the choreographer analyses and recreates contradictory representations of the object that is the body. She is interested in using the body as a raw, violent and erotic language, as a mirror of the body’s representativeness in society, without being forced to normalise it. Utopia is a performance based on the transgression and oppression of physical limits. — Diana Niepce
