" My body is waiting for something... That is all there is to it. My subject is Onan, the sensual Biblical character who gave his name to onanism. The Bible and sensuality... I find mixtures like this stimulating. Onan is absolute, total pleasure in terrifying solitude.
Behind this quest for solitary ecstasy lies the fear of nothingness, that point where life and death come face to face. Sometimes that vacuum fills my body like a desire for death.
DESIRE... There is a desire that vibrates inside me, and for many years I have been in search of that precise point where the trembling lies... It is perhaps this wave of vibration that is the source of my dancing. "
