SOMA & SKELETON - Laila Claessen

On your honeymoon

In the multidisciplinary performance SOMA & SKELETON, Laila Claessen takes the audience on a honeymoon 'through the human body'. Centuries-old Ayurvedic knowledge about body and soul is given a contemporary stage. Avant-garde costume design creates new anatomical shapes, and a backdrop of body sounds that take you through all the fleshy, emotional, and spiritual layers of the self - a journey inward in search of the sacred altar of radical self-love.

This is an artistic investigation rooted in her own journey of self-acceptance and recovery. It is a wedding vow to her body: Will she say yes?

This performance is part of the Amsterdam Fringe Festival.
