“Live” in Kapoor’s lexicon is unapologetically immediate. Her live work is not a polished replication of an idea but its laboratory: glitches, breath sounds, phone interruptions, the small failures that reveal the scaffolding of performance. She stages events as if they were experiments with an audience as co-conspirators. The result is brittle and electric—moments that feel like discovery because they are discovery, not simulation. A dancer’s stumble becomes a pivot; a missed cue becomes a new rhythm. The live format surrenders control and—radically—values the unplanned.
