Dasniya Sommer | Nun on the Moon

Event

Nun on the Moon explores various forms of Japanese Rope Bondage. The power dynamics between the audience and one female, and how Bondage (aka Kinbaku ) can be developed to new forms of performance. Kinbaku is an erotic ritualistic practice which I think can lead the participants away from the more habitual, or everyday ’self’. It opens another perceptions of the ‘self’ through sensual exposure and emotional intensity.
In part one the performer ties herself. Examining the gaze of the audience and exploring concepts of beauty involving mutation of the body through restriction. Fusing sub cultural aspects like monk fashion and combining butoh-ballet with a hybrid sound. Part two focusses on the dynamic between the individual and the group. The performer allows the audience to tie her. Sculpting her body with ropes. Unfolding physical creativity, trust and responsibility on both sides. The third part invites voluntary spectators, to be bound and make the bondage experience. The inner perception is always different from the objective perspective of a bondage scene.
