When I'm alone with my body – am I ever alone with my body?
In WET HOT WOMBS – Bathing into other Bodies, the body repeatedly eludes the gaze and is thus revealed as constantly becoming. In a messy dance with objects, masks, puppets and an organ, a single body is sung about and conjured up, examined for non-human affinities, freed from attributions, and opened to the indescribable and its plurality. Bodies in the making, hybrid bodies, fluid bodies, bodies between human and sea creature, woman and monster, punk and diva. In search of a queer-feminist, post-human corporeality, the space oscillates between the deep sea, outer space and the subconscious.
We are lost in space. We are all at sea. We are in this together.
“[...] The problem is that we did not know whom we meant when we said we.” (Rosi Braidotti)
