Predstava Znaki ohlajanja govori o občutju apatije, ki je v današnjem svetu vedno bolj pogosta. Predstava je nekakšna utelesitev ideje performativnega arhiva, ki tematizira stanje neaktivnosti, v kateri se je po mojem mnenju znašla moja generacija, in je sestavljena kot 'seznam predvajanja' določenih refleksij – o strategijah, kako se spoprijeti z izzivi današnjega sveta, o strategijah, kako (ne)naseliti telo (telesa) oziroma prostor (prostora), kako se ohladiti in dovoliti telesu, da počasi preide iz stanja ekscesa v stanje počitka, kar bi lahko razumeli tudi kot stanje izčrpanosti (Franco Berardi). V procesu smo tako premišljevali tudi o določeni negibnosti, ki izhaja iz takih stanj, o umiku iz družbe in skupnosti in navsezadnje o izstopu iz telesa, o določenem 'odklopu', ki je potreben, da se z izčrpanostjo sploh lahko soočimo: izčrpani časi, izčrpane plesne konvencije. Spraševali smo se tudi o trenutkih negibnosti, ko kot ustvarjalci nimamo veliko povedati.

‘Cooling Down Signs’ speaks about a prevailing sense we increasingly witness today: apathy. My intention was to create a piece which embodies the idea of a performative archive for a state of inaction that I feel we (my generation) navigate in. The piece is composed as a playlist of reflections: about strategies of coping with the challenges the world throws at us; strategies on how to (un)occupy this body or even this space. To cool down, to allow the body to gradually transition from a state of the excessive to one more restful, or near-resting state; a metaphor perhaps for exhaustion (Franco Berardi). Speaking about this means also to speak about a certain immobility that arises, and even, to withdraw from society, community, body, or to space out in an effort to face exhaustion: exhausted times, exhausted conventions in dance. To speak of these concepts means also to speak about a certain immobility and the moment where there is little to say.
