Body / Archive
Body / Archive excavates the gap between what the body remembers and what documentation records. Working with personal objects, recorded voice, and an accumulative movement vocabulary, the piece asks: whose version of events does the archive trust?
Performed across two nights as part of the Harbourfront Centre's World Stage program, the work received its Toronto premiere after a residency at the National Arts Centre.
"The archive is not neutral. We wanted to make that visible — to put a body in the room with the document and let them argue." — Negar Nemati
