A mapping of the skin's two sides
- for 5 male dancers.

Our bodies remind us that we are Nature and, like Nature in its essence, fluid and perishable inside. The skin separates us and the world, holds our flowing insides together and provides us with that mask with which we meet the world.

Palimpsest is a reopening of that on-stage dissection of the human anatomy which commenced with Aortas Partitur. Palimpsest registers as number three in a series of X-act produced performances which focus on Body, Anatomy and Choreography.

Whereas number one, Aortas Partitur (2003), with its first major incursion into the body, concerned itself widely with all emerging energies, qualities and images, and number two, Rankefod (2005), concentrates on the body’s evolutionary memory, Palimpsest will focus on the relationship between the skin's two sides, between Man as an organic entity and the surrounding world.

Length of performance: 65 minutes.

Kitt Johnson X-act is supported by the Committee for the Performing Arts under the Danish Arts Council during the 2004-09 seasons.
