Horrifying Statistics
Anita Wach
“Wherever people feel safe, they will be indifferent.”
Susan Sontag
21st sentence of the 30 Movements cycle
Performance as an exercise in empathy. Compassion is a dying emotion, the more horrifying the facts, the less emotional involvement. The process of evakening empathy is long and requires a lot of tenderness and patience. In the face of horrifying statistics, we will try to resuscitate our hearts and make our skin a little more sensitive. To bring the pain a little closer.
