Feel Better Plz [2023]
Feel Better Plz is a performative exploration of simple yet misguided movements in challenging times. It acts as a quiet form of resistance within an era that demands intellectualisation of every action and emotion. Embracing awkwardness and stupidity as potent catalysts, the work initiates a journey toward honesty and self-discovery.
Through the coexistence of two women living in the immediacy of the present, the performance expands the fleeting experience of being alive. It weaves a subtle narrative of care, exhaustion, and optimism – foreshadowing a tomorrow that may or may not arrive.
"Feel better plz so I can keep moving…" becomes both a plea and an incantation, exposing the fragility of existence while insisting on the stubborn, necessary continuation of movement.
