WHAT: I Stopped My Body was a visual dance and performance work that was played in Maria’s Hospital in Helsinki. The work dealt with death and our relationship to it, and what happens to us when we meet with death in our lives. Two actors who had survived cancer took part in the performance. I Stopped My Body mixed the fact and the fiction and the place itself, the hospital had a remarkable role in the fictitious performance.
