”Vi är underbemannade just nu, var god och dröj.”

Vad gör vi nu?

”Room 02:53” är en whacking/punking föreställning som äger rum i ditt undermedvetna. En kollektiv fantasi av fem dansare och en surrealistisk incheckning som rör sig i mellanrummet av den queera dansstilen whacking och dansteater.

Dansarna Ranya Asadi, Jérémy Gaudibert, Marvil Iglesias, Lauri Lohi och Hanne Os Wold dyker in i en läcker värld av rörelse, där varje handling drivs av lusten att uttrycka ens djupaste känslor. Föreställningen hämtar inspiration från filmer, komedi och normkritik och undersöker människornas benägenhet att missuppfatta varandra.

Med whackingens unika mix av teatrala gester och vild storytelling som klangbotten, förvandlas rummet i ”Room 02:53” till något drömlikt men ändå konstigt bekant.

”Beauty from Ugly, Expression from Oppression”

Viktor Manoel (Original punker)

Whacking skapades av queers of colour i Los Angeles under 1970-talet. Tidens atmosfär var till stor del rasistisk och fördömande gentemot homosexualitet och queeridentiteter. Ur behovet för självuttryck och befrielse uppstod whacking som en social dans inom gayklubbarna i Los Angeles. Dansstilens soundtrack var tidens mest provocerande och kontroversiella musikaliska fenomen: disko och funk-musik.

In addition to developing these two techniques he, together with the French collective Petit Huit, explores new forms of dance theater and immersive performance.

Jérémy discovered dance in his teenage years through the funk styles of Popping and Locking as well as Hype dance, name given in France to the early 90’s Hip Hop dance. While studying and later on working as a designer and maker, he approached Whacking (in 2014) and the Ballroom community (in 2015) where he found the appropriate vocabulary to shape and communicate his emotions. Through both bodily experiences and physical constructions, Jérémy works at proposing a different experience of the world.

The last couple of years Hanne has also used her urban dance background within a contemporary framework and enjoy using her movement language freely to convey characters, stories and emotions.
