Isadora Neves Marques looks at two of her recent films, My Senses Are All I Have to Offer (2024) and Becoming Male in the Middle Ages (2022), to consider the relationship between her writings on science fiction and her work as a filmmaker. Historically and culturally situated, her science-fiction writing stages encounters between distinct cosmovisions that disrupt divisions between natural and artificial, normal and abnormal. Intimate in tone, her films are equally conscious of different artistic histories, playing with genre expectations to surprising effects.
This event is the fourth iteration of Rehearsing the Not Yet, a collaboration between choreographer Ingri Fiksdal, Marie Nerland’s curatorial project, Volt, and dancer and choreographer Louis Schou-Hansen. Rehearsing the Not Yet looks to explore alternative histories as a means of envisioning and creating room for diverse modes of physical practice by asking: ‘What could have happened?’ Intended to unfold over the course of several years, Rehearsing the Not Yet will comprise various components – including talks, seminars and reading groups – culminating in a performance that will premiere in 2026.
