Bruise
Invisible bruises continue to live in the body — and choice remains possible.
The project
Bruise emerged from a conversation between two people marked by turbulent histories. Fullness and emptiness, sweetness and bitterness, vulnerability and choice become physical material rather than explanation.
The scenic language is built around the possibility of choice and the way an audience can recognise fragments of its own emotional history in movement.

Bruise
Created in 2015 as Matrafisc Dance’s first production, Bruise established an autobiographical and psychologically driven strand within the company’s repertoire. The duet treats emotional history as physical material, allowing tension, tenderness and personal choice to emerge through the relationship between two bodies.
