vioro.co presents NOT YOUR BODY

Sarah Vautour and Justine Eckhaut present a program on the crucial nature of bodily autonomy — feelings of grief when it is taken away, the power of stillness in healing, and the inalterable power of the human spirit in the face of adversity. This is my body, not your body.

The pair will present works by Libby Larsen, Wenxin Li, Kathleen Tagg, Martha Helen Schmidt, David Conte, Claude Debussy, Francis Poulenc, Johannes Brahms, Richard Strauss and Gustav Mahler.

can you hear the women who came before me
five hundred thousand voices
ringing through my neck
as if this were all a stage built for them
i can’t tell which parts of me are me
and which parts are them
can you see them taking over my spirit
shaking out of my limbs
to do everything they couldn’t do
when they were alive

― Rupi Kaur, Home Body
