The performance “Do What You Want” is an attempt by Filip Pawlak to explore and explain the concept of alternative kinematics, based on his own story. This concept, popularized by choreographer Rafał Urbacki, continues to circulate. In his search, the creator delves into the archive of experiences, including subjective memory, documentary materials, interviews with other artists, and theoretical texts, attempting to find a common narrative. It is also a confrontation with his own return to the stage after 7 years of working behind the scenes in the theater. Filip/Performer poses the question: to whom does the performer’s body memory belong? And how does it change?
