The performance is based on real events experienced by the dancers themselves. In a genuine and unapologetic way, they share their personal stories. Revealing taboo truths and embodying these scenes through different techniques and performative ideas.

The disapproval of emotional>>.scenes<< leads to a fear of strong emotions, a fear of anger and hatred, a fear of confronting reality, because confrontation with reality initially always leads to anger and hatred, combined with a lack of self-confidence in dealing with and changing the world and in influencing one's destiny in the slightest.
- Valerie Solanas, SCUM Manifesto

About the choreographer

Ellinor Ljungkvist

Ellinor Ljungkvist is educated at the Salzburg Experimental Academy of Dance, Inter-University Centre for Dance Berlin and Master in Choreography at the Academy of Dance and Circus in Stockholm. She has taken part in several collaborative projects during her time in Vienna and Berlin together with contemporary dancers and performance artists in the independent scene. But in recent years Ellinor has put more focus on establishing her own choreographic work which has been supported by, among others, Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes and Dans i Örebro län.

Ellinor's work is characterised for its combination of contemporary dance and performance art often based on real events described from a female perspective. Due to her educational background and especially her time in Berlin, Ellinor's work is conceptual in approach as she creates theatrical works based on personal and true stories.
