“Please don’t feel!” – by Kelly Ayache
Feelings are amazing, except for the bad and unpleasant feelings that get in our way like- stress, shame, despair, jealousy, low self-esteem. Better not to feel them, right? Better to silence them and feel safe, feel like everyone else. keep going with the routine, just as everything is supposed to be—perfect and emotionless. The piece asks us to ‘stop feeling’ in order to feel better. But is that really the answer? A sensitive work that reveals the disagreement between the mind and emotions in one woman—or in each of us

If you catch me, will I fall? By Dana Marcus
“In a vortex of “I” and “we”, between struggle and cooperation. In constant wonder of what holds what and who grasps who. In the places between success and giving up and between the choice to control or free fall. During moments where togetherness allows us to be alone and, in those moments, when the alone builds our togetherness. In the end, it’s always just both of us, you and me, in our repeated attempts to be ourselves.”
