"I called this flaw Limbo. An in-between. A space without boundaries, where time dissolves and we dance to survive."

The idea for Limbo came about in a simple moment: a video shot in my kitchen with my sister's help, on the morceau Prime Time of Your Life de Daft Punk. Quelque chose dans ce titre — sa tension, sa mélancolie, son urgence — a fait écho à un état que je ressens depuis toujours : celui de l’entre-deux. Un état de flottement, d’apathie, de suspension. Ce moment a ouvert une faille, que j’ai commencé à nommer.

Limbo, a word that evokes waiting, indecision, marginal areas. I realised that what I was experiencing was not isolated. My sister told me that she knew this same state, that she was going through it too. Limbo is that grey area between euphoria and loss, between hyper-lucidity and dissolution. An existential place that defies norms and yet shapes our lives.

In Limbo, I choose to dance in this gap, not to escape it, but to exist fully within it. Whacking, a dance style that originated in an Afro-Latino queer club in Los Angeles in the 1970s, becomes here the vehicle for a joyful struggle, a physical manifesto. It gives form to an inner state, to a living memory.

It allows me to bring together different fragments of experience:

• My intersex experience
• A chronic feeling of detachment
• Wandering on the margins of the gender spectrum
• A relationship suspended in time, broken
• The feeling of belonging to a generation without reference points, dancing on the ruins with lucidity and despair.

Limbo is a solo piece about crossing this borderline place, dancing until exhaustion, with no goal other than to experience the moment. A solo piece celebrating what survives, what resists.
