Description The Body of Work is a physical installation, a performance and a tragedy in one. The protagonist is a person who has lost his memory, and now wanders through personal history somewhere between fiction and reality. His lack of history provides a platform for a search for new ways of existence beyond learned categories.

The main character is simultaneously a hero and a victim, a bystander in his own life yet the protagonist of the performance, who simultaneously creates and erases his own portrait in a torrent of contradicting life events. Fragile states of existence, virtuosic expression and poetic sense of the body resonate with space, light and sound.

The Body of Work is choreographer-dancer Ima Iduozee's second solo performance. It is inspired by case stories from The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat by Oliver Sacks.
