Inspired by Blue, Derek Jarman’s latest autobiographical film, FUCK ME BLIND is a duo in which the performers share the same pivot point. In the film shot before his death from complications from AIDS, the director director takes on his imminent end as an active vindication of his entire existence.

Through the use of Yves Klein blue Jarman finds a way to make his body, which has become invisible to the eyes of a puritanical society puritanical society, a door where the infinite becomes tangible. The monochromatic colour becomes the input to begin a tangible search for the body in continuous rotation towards infinity. The dancers draw a veritable veritable map in space, implementing between them dynamics of attraction and repulsion: Eros and Thanatos become the principle of movement, the centrifugal and centripetal force as sexual and mortal drive. The two dancing and sero-discordant bodies use aesthetic codes that appeal to a new homo-folkloristic dance by enacting the same claim to existence as the director.

Using the same non-narrative tools as the film, FUCK ME BLIND wants to create a hypnotic experience against the backdrop of a homoerotic landscape.

In Jarman’s film, blue becomes the body, in FUCK ME BLIND the dancing body becomes blue.
