Briefly
Briefly is a solo performance that delves into the weight and consequence of choices influenced by inevitable forces. The work prompts a reflection on their profound impact on individuals through the lens of bodily constraints and, by consequence, the rediscovery of the protective instincts of the heart. The work explores a reality that is both universal and personal, highlighting themes such as solitude, fear and freedom. Béatrice blurs the boundaries between narration and the abstract, offering a nuanced perspective on the interplay of emotions and corporeal experience.
