I Cosmetic Demons: A Choreographic Salon the hair salon is a place where gossip, emotions and personal processes are made visible. In front of the chairs - where the mirror used to be - there is now a dancer. Three hairdressers, three customers and three dancers play out a choreographic idea that becomes a salon.
With an immersive experience, you look into a social space and through dance transformative actions, the intimacy between hairdresser and client becomes central. Through curiosity, Sindri challenges the audience and with visual shifts creates a metaphorical space to be together.
The work will be developed during 2023 and premiere at Inkonst, Malmö in April 2024. Co-produced by Dansens Hus Stockholm, Norrlandsoperan and Inkonst, Malmö with support from the Swedish Arts Council, Nordic Culture Fund, Konstnärsnämnden. Production by Sindri Runudde and Nordberg Movement.
