Inspired by Shibari, a discipline of Japanese rope craft- often associated with BDSM, the durational performance looked into the context of rope outside erotica. By citing a classical Javanese narratives “Serat Gathaloco” and modern historical references, the presentation starts with 4 solos performed simultaneously followed by riddles posed as a monologue. Performed in a loop every 15 minutes of physical movement, throughout the duration of 5 hours in attempt to achieve fatigue that dwells intimacy into both submission and dominance.
