TURN ON is a full length dance production about female pleasure from the Swiss-Moroccan choreographer Soraya Leila Emery and featuring four female identifying performers from the SWANA region (South West Asia and North Africa) and based in Switzerland.
Choreography by Soraya Leila Emery.
By delving into the nuances of pleasure, this production is a choreographic and performative exploration that challenges societal norms and cultural taboos, redefining the narrative around female sexuality, body autonomy, and empowerment. With the body’s physicality at the core of the performance, it generates in the audience feelings of empathy, intimacy and resonance.
The incorporation of elements like grappling, physical touch, gaze, sensuality, and the use of the voice and breath, offers an authentic depiction of diverse experiences around pleasure. With a choreographic framework that includes both set material and improvisation based scores, TURN ON is set as a journey through waves of pleasure inviting the audience to immerse themselves in a transformative experience.
