Synopsis
What happens when desire becomes fixated on specific objects, gestures or roles? Can pleasure be derived from playing a role? This session offers an approach to fetishism as a practice in which the exploration of the body’s limits becomes a space for experiencing pleasure. An exploration of dynamics in which surrender to a role shapes one’s relationship with oneself and with others. A way of life in which desire, far from being concealed, is embraced as the cornerstone of our identity.
