"Modal verbs are the modes of being through which the Being lives itself."
Giorgio Agamben
Modal verbs are playing a fundamental role in structuring our culture, expressing modalities such as ability (can), necessity (must), permission (may), obligation (should), contingency (might, could) etc. Although we are using these words in a simple way, without giving much attention to it, those words are in fact powerful operational devices. Not only as a matter of speech, but in a very concrete and physical way, these words are shaping the experience of ourselves - in different modes such as: to be possible, to be necessary, to be forbidden, to be contingent and so on. At the border of speech, language and physical articulation through the body, choreographer and performer Jasna L. Vinovrski explores these different states of being in a pure black-box setting.
