Adagio displays a variety of inclusive, non-binary bodies that enter a dialogue with each other in a continuous slowness, and the same can be said of the recorded images. Adagio does not recite a ‘truth’ but aims to be a question mark, searching for a spectrum of possibilities and plausible answers. This is a piece that searches for authenticity in a world of limits and oppression and breaks through structures that society systematically places on people and bodies.
