Ejercicios militares para confundir éxtasis con agonía

Ejercicios militares para confundir éxtasis con agonía (Military exercises to confuse ecstasy with agony) deals with the danger of dismantling the body of discourse. In other words, the danger that harbours the sexual encounter between two or more bodies. From the mere misunderstanding to the most bloody violence. In this encounter, bodies offer themselves to each other, allow themselves to be touched, penetrated, invaded, beaten, lacerated. The official representations of sex and the political tools that surround them aim to create the illusion of a world where this danger disappears, by using rules, categories and contracts. Here, however, the theatre constitutes a parallel with the sexual encounter, a body-to-body encounter, where danger is potency. To exalt this danger is to exalt potency. The one that makes possible the change of form, of figure, of metamorphosis.

This potency is internal. Not external, not political. Within this space the body does not militate, it does not act on the world or reality, but lets reality militate or act on it. Because this space is false, deceitful, counterfeit. And although it is true that it can be the result of certain powers, it does not, however, become a parliament, for what it comes to have over us is potency, not power.
