Dancer and puppeteer Roni Sagui's work is driven by a deep curiosity about movement and the mechanism of the human body. Through anatomical analysis, he examines the living body from the outside by transferring control to another's hands.

At the center of the work is a system of leather straps and strings worn on the fingers, arm, and neck, connected to one another by threads. The system is designed to simulate the internal tendons and ligaments that move the limbs, but exposes them on the outside of the body. In this way, it can be activated by an external operator, enabling precise and delicate control over the wearer—turning them into a kind of marionette.

The mechanism generates a choreographic and emotional dynamic of clearly defined roles: controller and controlled, operator and operated. The leather, strings, and bindings deliberately evoke associations with harnesses and the world of BDSM. Within this space, the person being controlled is required to relinquish free will—to be fully relaxed but not limp. They become an object, a passive instrument waiting in a velvet-lined case for the moment when someone will play them.

Pulling and releasing the strings, the operator explores the body of the wearer from the outside—in full collaboration and with a delicate intimacy that demands awareness of the effect of every movement. For every pull of a tendon registers not only in the physical joints, but in the heart of the activated person, and in the relationship quietly woven between them in that very moment.
