Danslördag: Kill Your Darlings

En vildvuxen duett som njuter av stöket, av och med Joshua Monten Dance Company, för alla lekfulla åldrar.

Hoppa hage

Joshua Monten's dance performance Kill Your Darlings begins in familiar territory. “Hello, darling!” Two men appear and draw chalk squares on the ground. They begin a game of hopscotch, dancing in unison and tirelessly repeating their sequences with nerdy precision.

The basic geometries and rhythms of the game begin to fracture and multiply. The movement grows increasingly complicated and physically demanding, transforming bit by bit into a kaleidoscopic journey around the world of body percussion, and ending in a hyperactive havoc.

Kill Your Darlings was developed in Switzerland and premiered at the Buskers Bern Festival. The choreography has toured extensively, with more than three hundred performances throughout Europe, South America, Australia, the US and the Palestinian Territories.

Practical Information
