A performance by Barbara Sánchez Kane & Young Boy Dance Group at Dover Street Market Paris, Exclusive video by Peter Kaaden

This film captures the performance of Bárbara Sánchez-Kane in collaboration with Young Boy Dancing Group at Dover Street Market in Paris, immersing viewers in the intimate interplay between art, bodies, music, and audience. It presents an organism of bodies—a whole never fully complete—delighting in artifice and excess. At a minimalist altar for Dover Street Market Paris, the collaboration manifests as an exquisite corpse or ritual weaving offered by Sánchez-Kane, Darío afb, and Young Boy Dancing Group.

Her commanding sculpture serves as a stage for the Young Boy Dancing Group, a collective whose provocative performances dismantle contemporary dance norms. Together, they pose profound questions: What lies beyond our orifices? Where does this black hole lead us?

Directed by Peter Kaden, this film captures the intimacy and raw closeness of the performance, drawing viewers into its visceral, transformative energy.
