Siguiendo algunos anatemas de E. M. Cioran, se confabulan algunas coreografías y metáforas mediante la interpretación de “manos” y de su gestualidad.
Aquí algunas de las frases protagonistas:
“Esta mañana tras haber oído a un astrónomo hablar de miles de millones de soles, he renunciado a asearme; ¿para qué seguir lavándose?”
“Siendo el hombre un animal enfermizo, cualquiera de sus palabras o sus gestos equivale a un síntoma.”

Animal enfernizo (Ailing Animal)
Through the geography or topology of hands, speaking about the geography of the porous surface as well as the one that is formed by the bones giving structure to the hand itself, this screendance attempts to give rise to various expressions choreographing the hands, creating a sense that resembles the very geography of the animals shown in the video, both geographies, the one of their bodies and the one of the places these animals inhabit.
As inspiration and soundtrack of the video, some anathemas by E. M. Cioran are read, allowing the narrative be the main focus of the work, helped by the strength of the words that are interpreted in four languages to make an audio tape as exhausting and devastating as its literal content.
