At the intersection of choreographic performance and visual expression, "Body of Memory" offers a unique sensory experience. Conceived by Jade Tekhil, a textile designer and multidisciplinary artist whose work blends textiles and ceramics, this work explores bodily memory through materials. She also gathers secondhand materials, fragments of lives already lived, which she recomposes using techniques such as macramé, pleating, and ceramics.
Premiering on June 9, 2025, at the Palais Longchamp, the performance brings together a collective of contemporary dancers whose movements are extended, countered, or amplified by wearable textile and ceramic creations, specially designed for the work. Each costume becomes an actor in its own right, translating the emotion, tension, and poetry of the movement.
