»Epiclogue« presents beginnings, tales, histories and forms new myths. The dancers Jonathan Ibsen og Bjørk-Mynte Paulse carve out space for the queer body to be strong, visible, and dominant. The performance examines what it requires—or perhaps costs—to take up space that is granted to others. Through the perspectives of a trans woman of colour and a white gay man, they scrutinize the world they live in and put problems concerning gender, sexuality and identity into context. By rejecting the role of the vulnerable, Kjøteren og Terrieren fantasize about a speculative reality where dominant norms no longer exist. They search for possibilities in the interface between what is and what could have been. In »Epiclogue«, intimate encounters emerge, where bodies find courage and will through love, care, and trust in one another.
Kjøteren og Terrieren‘s artistic interest lies in challenging and questioning societal norms. With curiosity and an unfiltered aesthetic, they approach questions that concern us all in an untamed way. Their ambition is to engage, challenge, and create dialogue through choreography and the staging of the reality we inhabit.
The show on 29.5. will be followed by an artist talk. The talk will take place in English.
