Tech Rider

dis.cover is an intimate duet between a juggler and a light technician, unfolding through movement, object manipulation, voice, and light. It explores physical and psychological nakedness, questioning how shame, fear, and vulnerability are inscribed onto female-read bodies. Precise choreography meets virtuosic (foot) juggling, singing, text, and costume research, creating a language that is both raw and refined. Personal stories intertwine with socio-political contexts, while humor and direct audience proximity foster empathy and shared understanding. The visible presence of the technician as performer expands the dramaturgy, opening a layered space of perception, connection, and empowerment.
