"skinSITEs" is an ongoing series of site-specific video-performances. Since 2002 so far 16 venues in 15 cities in 8 countries have been inspiring performances . The concept travels. The piece is produced completely anew for each version − each time with a local dancer and a local “story” that reflects the history and the present of a building. The performance space is always a window or door, hence, an in-between space that is covering one space from the outside.

"Window” comes etymologically from “wind eye”, as much as a “facade” is the “face” of a building. So skinSITEs merges the body of a building and with the body of a performer − it plays with hiding bodies and revealing them. Hide-and-seek is not just a children’s game, but a technique to approach ontology: in absence you can find presence. The more recent version have been creating meaningful containers - as in relationship to the site in which they are situated - be it a real overseas container in Rijeka or an art container in the art museum / former prison DA2 in Salamanca.

post theater works frequently on what they call “staging disappearance”. Theater − the “place of seeing” becomes a space where perception − and the lack of it - is challenged. We live in times of permanent availability of visual and other information. By intentionally reducing and de-constructing media perception, post theater tries to enhance the media that constitute a live performance − including the live bodies of a building, and a dancer.
