Eleven stories for the body, distance to our soul finds its source in words, text and poetry from eleven stories about the body, written specially for this production by eleven writers and poets. The texts inspired, dictated and drove the direction of the movement and represented different perspectives of humanity, elements that make us who and what we are. Eleven stories for the body was a physical translation of these eleven impressions/expressions about the body.
