BEND, UP, CHOKE
BEND, UP, CHOKE charges choreography and dance material as an electricity that connects us to each other, to the mythos of who we are, and to material possibility and its felt texture.
The work is a creation by choreographer Marikiscrycrycry, together with the graduating students of the Bachelor Programme in Dance Performance at Stockholm University of the Arts.
Working with the students at the start of their education, in autumn 2022, the choreographer met them again in spring 2025, examining, through movement, the potential for new ways to be human in an increasingly inhumane time.
Working with themes engaging with dark fantasy, black cultural iconography, and horror, Marikiscrycrycry looks at what lies on the horizon line.
- Whatever it is, it’s over there. And we aren’t there yet.
