for Almada Dance Company
When you touch someone you’re not touching a thing but a person, which is not an object of pleasure, which cannot be consummated, but which offers the possibility of authentic communion. Without this communion, chastity is not possible, but one is driven by compulsion, impulse, and possession.
Enzo Bianchi, In "Monastero di Bose"
