*NOISES* is a choreographic response to the last video work of artist Meir Eshel Absalon’s titled “Bruits” (1993) that features the artist screaming repeatedly into the camera. The choreographer Nitsan Margaliot takes this contained outburst as an invitation for his performative engagement with Absalon’s archive, who died from HIV/AIDS at the age of 28.

In this solo piece, Nitsan Margaliot moves between states and structures that allude to Absalon’s body of work. Margaliot engages with the body as a site that registers and transforms emotional and historical tension. Positioned between reaction and resistance, *NOISES* explores how the body processes uncertainty, fear, and instability. Through this choreographic approach to an archive, Margaliot practices “being with” Absalon, and engages in a conversation with his chosen ancestor, whom he never met.
