On My Tongue
Costume for dance
2024
Trailer and pictures: Ville Vidø
On My Tongue is a new choreographic work by Emilie Gregersen, developed and performed together with Paolo de Venecia Gile, Sigrid Stigsdatter Mathiassen, and Luisa Fernanda Alfonso. It is the final piece in Emilie Gregersen’s Touch Trilogy, following Caresses (2021) and Touch (2020). The trilogy is a prism of works that explores a queer phenomenological understanding of touch, with each work offering aesthetic experiences and poetic reflection on how touch shapes our engagement with the world and each other. The piece premiered at Dansehallerne, Copenhagen, in november 2024.
On My Tongue delves into the sensorial practices that navigate the fragile terrain of consent, companionship, and politics of touch. Within an uncanny universe of opposing forces — where desire confronts fear and melancholia meets euphoria — it questions intimacy, trust and the role of the senses, and how we relate to ourselves and each other in increasingly complex ways.
