Choreographer Margret Sara Gudjonsdottir accompanied by dancer Johanna Chemnitz, music made by Peter Rehberg(PITA) and text composed from internet spam by Gordon Spragg, confront the idea of the \u201cSelf\u201d in an attempt to tear down the fabric of what separates the subject from the gaze.<\/p>\n
“Consider that there is nothing between us but a fleeting bundle of perceptions. In all eyes we want to be all things differently. I doubt your parents taught you last time I checked. With that in mind, consider this. How are you suppose to know what the right thing to say and do is?… then this is one of the best signs that there is. I think that you are a very interesting person.\u00a0The opposite of love is simply complete and utter indifference. I presume this will come to you as a surprise, but as things unfold, we will know each other better. <\/b>Because the truth is, whether you consider our methods ethical or not…\u00a0 In other words, I know how you feel.

nonsense. The dancer, dressed only in bra and shorts, exposes every muscle and twitch. Her eyes are closed at first her and she seems to shrink instinctively from something. The dancer tries to orient herself in both her own body and space, like an animal that is frightened out of his burrow and blinking against the light, to us who see her. The electronic sound is amplified to the pain threshold while the dancer switches with pressure between various movement fragments. She reflects in our eyes but is also trapped in it \u2013 a soft target. Soft Target is a consistent and thought-provoking unpleasant solo that leaves traces in the viewer\u2019s body and raises awareness of how we read of the environment.<\/p>\n

The incredibly simple concept behind the performance is intimidatingly effective, pure, clever and persistent… Soft Target is an exceptionally thought out piece both physiologically and psychological. Managing to be captivating as well challenging it is a true piece of art that transcends itself.
