How do experiences of forced displacement transform the body and voice? How are concepts like 'home,' 'fragility,' and 'belonging' re-signified? In what way can a dancing body express the fragmentation of identity? How does migrant language articulate new identities in constant reconstruction? 'Vorübergehende Lösungen um das Verlorene zu bennenen' is a performative exploration of the fragility that inhabits the body after a forced displacement. Movement and language are territories of adaptation, marked by the fatigue of relearning new ways of inhabiting the world and reconstructing an identity in constant tension. Between gestures, memories, and fragmented languages, the work asks how to re-signify what has been lost and how to inhabit what remains of it. The performance establishes a constant dialogue between the poetic-fictional and the documentary, taking as a starting point my personal experience and that of the performer: two Venezuelan women, exiled, dissidents; a neurodivergent dancer (Naia Urresti) and a lesbian writer and director (J. René Guerra). In this sense, the way of inhabiting space, the way of moving and dancing of the performer becomes, in itself, a narrative of exile, acting as a field of enunciation against the aggressive logics of the Venezuelan civic-military regime, showing the physical and mental impacts that a body can endure while trying to survive state violence and subsequent uprooting. Through this work, I seek for the audience to witness a subtle and reparative protest, in which the body presents itself, from its fragility and vulnerability, as a territory of struggle and resistance against systems of power.
