"Unending love, or love dies, on repeat like it’s endless" is a choreography that reflects on the relations of desire, dance, fragmentation, love (as communality), loss and time.

Through gesture, sensuality and touch, Baczyński-Jenkins’ practice unfolds structures and politics of desire. Relationality runs through both how the work has  developed and is performed, as well as in the materials and poetics it invokes. This includes tracing relations between sensation and sociality, embodied expression and alienation, the textures of everyday experience, the utopian and latent queer histories. "Unending love, or love dies, on repeat like it’s endless" approaches choreography as a way of reflecting on the matter of feeling, perception and collective emergence, while indulging in other ways of experiencing memory, time and change.

"Unending love, or love dies, on repeat like it’s endless" is a 2 hour durational work where the audience can come and go at their leisure.
