QUIESCENCE is directed by Ixchel Rubio MartÃnez. It explores the idea of silence based on Derrida's notion of deconstruction and the concept Ma in Butoh. The source of deconstruction lies on the borders, at the edges, on the limits, in the same way as Ma exists. When does the sound become silence? When do sound and silence merge? The fact that one ends when the other starts is questioned. The foundation of deconstruction engages a thinking of displacing the centre of a certain structure. The discovery of the use of speaking language has eventually imprisoned the expressiveness of the body; the expression has become subordinate to the world. Is it possible to scape logo-centrism? And furthermore is it possible the displacement of the movement as a centre? Born in the chaos of crossing and activities, Quiescence questions our perception of silence and its primordial dualism with sound. The endless vertigo of getting to the limit is always there.
