DOUBLE BILL: Omer Keinan & Koffi-Kégou Afiadegnigban
DOUBLE BILL:
Omer Keinan & Koffi-Kégou Afiadegnigban
MYTHOLOGIES
Omer Keinan
Mythologies is a performance event about the ways we story our experiences, and the ways storytelling shapes our relationship with the world and ourselves. The audience is invited to share stories from their daily lives, which we will then bring into the space and play with. As stories become dances, they enter the wobbly terrain of embodiment, wherein their meaning and sense-making are unravelled. As multiple stories are woven together, they slip and crack, allowing us to scandalize and disturb the narratives our bodies have come to hold.
Choreographer: Omer Keinan
Collaborating Performers: Susanne Ylikoski, Elliot Norell Strinnö
Musician: Roi Becker
Original Cast: Erika Kooki Filia, Lena Klink
A special thank you to nein9 kollektiv and DOCK 11
Omer Keinan is a dance artist and researcher based in Stockholm and Berlin. His work takes an irreverent approach to embodied knowledge, playing with the experience of becoming a body. As a choreographer, Omer has presented his works throughout Europe, dealing with themes of mythology as world-making, mysticism as faith-making, and conflict as community-making. As a researcher, he is the founder of the dance laboratory Blue Sky, most recently in collaboration with ccap (SE) and nein9 kollektiv (DE), and participates in the archival research project Dance Tales (SI). Omer holds an MFA in New Performative Practices from Stockholm University of the Arts (SE), and has studied choreography in SEAD (AU) and dance at the Maslool (IL).

LA QUATRIÈME
Koffi-Kégou Afiadegnigban
La Quatrième is a spiritual journey on which I embarked to reconnect with my history, revive my demons and exorcise them. While drifting back in time, I try to question my past, understand my present and better prepare for my future.
