ICHOR
20 min.
In a room smelling like a faint memory of something beautiful the three performers struggle with their equal despise and desire for individualism, power, loneliness and being loved. Words are all over them. How to build one self? How to maintain opacity and yet find the intimacy of being part of something good? They are dressed in pieces of fabric with slogans and statements combined into perfect collages of residue. An overflow of thought and capitalism, once t-shirts, then rags for cleaning pipes in oil engines, now a garment that seems to tell us more accurately who we are, than we could have imagined.
Ichor is an ethereal fluid that makes up the blood of the gods and is toxic to humans. In pathology the word was previously a term for the foul-smelling, watery fluid from a wound.
Performance & sound design: Jules Fischer
Costumes and props: Puer Parasitus
Scent design: Lisbeth Jacobsen/odor&fumes
Visual elements: Anna Ørberg
Performers: Escarleth Poza, Ingeborg Meier &
Snorre Elvin

IT DOESN’T LOOK LIKE ANYTHING TO ME
30 min.
The title refers to the sci-fi series Westworld. The phrase is a fail-save response to encounters which make the hosts (robots) question their own reality. (In the setting of an Art Fair one might wonder who are hosts and who are guests?)
The movement material is searching for vulnerability and softness in found material from sports, movies, folk dance and everyday gestures. The fragments are looped and mixed with phrases developed by the performers into a slow choreography. The piece is playing with ambivalence and illegibility as an escape from binaries, while questioning hegemony is a “natural” trait.
Choreography: Jules Fischer
Performers: Andreas Haglund, Beck Heiberg, Jupiter Child, Sall Lam Toro
Composer: Josefine Opsahl
Cello: Hrafnhildur Marta Guðmundsdóttir
Costumes: Camilla Lind
Comissioned for Enter art fair 2022 as part of the program Tales of love and fight curated by Irene Campolmi.
