In each of Fakir Testa’s performances, we ask ourselves: What is pain? What is vulnerability? What is a wound? What other unexpected windows open and close within the human body?
His show challenges the limits of the human body and expresses the desire to elude suffering and escape death. Like all art, it offers a twist of meaning: in Testa’s case, it makes us perceive — it gives sensitivity to — what is usually insensitive.
