​Daria Blum’s performance ‘On Pointing On’ sees the figure of the 'misbehaved girl' reincarnated by a cast of characters, multiplied across video screens and live performance. Taking the Bordeaux Ballet’s ‘La Fille Mal Gardée’ as a reference point, Blum reinterprets the wayward daughter who, frustrated by the loss of voice, discovers the gesture of the pointing finger as a tool for communication as well as coercion. Conducting the music, claiming attention, casting a spell, the various characters ‘point out’, toward and away from each other, as they alternate between harmonies and cacophonies of a ritualistic insubordination.​
