SYNOPSIS Georges Canguilhem states that “all living forms are normalized monsters.” The six performers of *FAM* present themselves as six living archives—six documents made of flesh and bone. They bring into play their own (embodied) experiences, alongside contemporary stories addressing eating disorders, aging, and consent. Ultimately, they explore the body as a site occupied—and politicized—by various models. *FAM* invites us to question how we relate to ourselves through self-esteem and to others through sexual-affective relationships, revealing that the body is simultaneously the problem and the solution. What begins as a requiem for the repose of bodies transforms into a hymn—and a dance—celebrating diversity, affections, actions, and passions… everything that loosens us up, awakens us, and shifts the boundaries.
