"anonymous bodies" is a new self-titled work that unearths the innermost hidden physical and psychological structures of the creative process. Theories of identity mash up against visual and performance aesthetics to create a genre defying face-off between two of Philadelphia's most dynamic voices in contemporary dance theater.
Dressed in a white sweat suit laced with 'conscious' graffiti painted all over his body, "other.explicit.body." is described by Kosoko as 'a theatrical investigation bridging movement with visual art to force a dialogue between the complexities of critical race issues, political satire, and stereotypical images of the Black Male Body.'
The whole concept of selfhood is a slippery one: particularly in the face of constant exposure to media and mediation, the subject is fragmentary. "Subject in Two Parts" invokes figures as diverse as performance artist Carolee Schneeman, writer William S. Burroughs, and cultural icon Marilyn Monroe to convey the sense that 'identity' is not fixed, but in a constant state of becoming.
