In Motor Unit, Sati Veyrunes turns interpretation into a creative act. She successively revisits Adrienn Hód’s then Erna Ómarsdóttir’s solos and in doing so composes a moving piece that blends memory and transformation. Her body becomes a passage between two different readings, revealing a living dance that feeds off transmission and reinvention.
