Eskimo (known before as (Laughing)Insults) is a new step in Marcos Simões’ research of the laughing body. Last autumn, he performed a previous part called Laughingame at Amperdans4.
Insult as a mask.
Insult as a perspective, a way of feeling, an emotional reaction.
Insult as a result of the impossibility to express the inexpressible.
Insult as a carnival, a ritual of initiation.
Insult as a transitional moment.
Eskimo is an insult.
Eskimo is a game of embodiment of insults. A relational event, in which the performers are mocking themselves and the others. A relation that generates thought and language. An infancy state that plays within and without the law, generating a field of possibilities.
