Pour

This is a delicate yet forthright piece, an intimate yet dark and disturbing show. In it, its creator, Daina Ashbee, explores the vulnerability and strength of women. Thus, the solo performer of the work goes through various states of mind—pain, hope and loneliness—expressed in introspective, cathartic dancing with precise and almost hypnotic movements. Her nakedness conveys a sense of fragility but above all of liberation.

Pour is an ode to the female body and its nature, a work that expresses a discreet denunciation of its position in the world.

Daina Ashbee is a young Canadian artist. She has written radical works that lie at the boundary between dance and performance and which address issues as complex as the taboos associated with female sexuality. In her view, there is something instinctive and spiritual about artistic creation.
