Project "E/x:soteric" refers to body searching the pure shape and meaning of soma in XXI century. it's asking questions about sense of the body as a archive of entity emotions in mass experience. What are bodies remember in next generations from tyranies, political regimes, systematic exterminations and war traumas of our ancestors. In this project I want to meet the alchemy of "inside" (esoteric) memory of individual with "outside" memory (exoteric) of collectivity. The choreographic strategy of ONE body remembrance become the multiple gesture of community memory. What happens with this body archive in the era of electricity and what will happen in the era of Artificial Inteligence? The alchemy of body becomes a myth from unreal past and leaves only traces on the reality.

I use movement practices extracted from iconography of Hellenistic Egypt, islamic world or Medieval Europe and modern dance together with figures of ancient athlets and formal, new-choreography methods. The language of dance and visualisation creates live video-mural. This collage of techniques helps me to transit (chrysopoeia) the historic idea of Great Work (Magnus Opum) on popcultural body image. By de-constructing and queering this image, modeled on alchemists attempting to purify, mature, and perfect certain materials, I create illusion of social/body movement patterns common for the whole mankind.
