En forestillingsaften med to koreografiske værker: LITTLE MISS BEAST MODE af Andreas Haglund og MELODRAMA af Camilla Lind.OM LITTLE MISS BEAST MODE
SSSHHHH!!!! NOGET RØRER PÅ SIG I BUSKADSET! Noget kunstigt? Noget smukt? Noget monstrøst? Noget naturligt?
LITTLE MISS BEAST MODE danser i spændingsfeltet mellem det dyriske og menneskelige, mellem det naturlige og det overnaturlige, det organiske og det kunstige.
Koreograf og dansekunstner Andreas Haglund bevæger sig gennem en kavalkade af bæst og kræ for at undersøge de ideologiske spændinger bag iscenesat biomimik. Hvilke naturforståelser afslører naturskildringer? Hvem er velkommen i den form for natur? I LITTLE MISS BEAST MODE tumler en række udyr - søde, groteske, forvirrede og usammenhængende – sig gennem black boxens disede landskab. Disse konstant transformerende skabninger snuser omkring indenfor queer økologiens løfter. Hvad sker der, når naturforståelse er artikuleret fra en position, som bliver nægtet adgang til det såkaldt ‘naturlige’?
Som i et smæld fra en pisk bryder LITTLE MISS BEAST MODE gennem de stive rammer af denne påståede naturlighed. Der danses en vild samling af dyriskheder, som alle sammen peger på, at natur langt fra er en fast størrelse. Noget er på vej ud af busken.
OM MELODRAMA
For Camilla Lind er performance et slags ”lab for exciting illusions”. Et sted at være med det umulige, ambivalensen og det, som ikke endnu er defineret ved navn. Hun undersøger kroppen som en flydende enhed, der kan skrøbeliggøres og slå sprækker. Hun er optaget af, hvordan det personlige kan påpege det strukturelle, og hvordan fejl, kaos og humor kan bruges som redskaber til at skubbe til kroppen, kønnet og sindets forandringspotentialer.
I sin nye performance MELODRAMA tager hun udgangspunkt i genren gotisk melodrama, som både kan opleves indenfor film, litteratur og i tv-fænomenet sæbeoperaen. Her blandes stærke følelser med elementer af det overnaturlige, og i kunstnerens version suppleret med referencer til pop- og subkultur, der befinder sig et sted mellem virkelighed og fiktion.
Centralt i performancen er en kvindelig karakter, der synes at befinde sig i et liminalt rum, hvor hun, gennem en række transformationer, afsøger muligheden for at kommunikere med de afdøde. Som en måde at komme overens med sin egen sorg.
Ved brug af koreograferede lyd-elementer og bevægelse opstår et forvrænget spøgelsesunivers som eksisterer som en slags one-woman show for de døde. Med samspil af filmiske teknikker samt den fængslende konvergens af musik og drama, udfolder værket en flerlaget og cirkulær fortælling, hvor intet er, som det umiddelbart ser ud til at være.
MELODRAMA er en sanselig udforskning af, hvad dans og koreografi kan indebære, skubbe til og åbne op for.

A performance evening with two choreographic works: LITTLE MISS BEAST MODE by Andreas Haglund and MELODRAMA by Camilla Lind.
ON LITTLE MISS BEAST MODE
SSSHHHH!!!! SOMETHING IS MOVING IN THE BUSHES! Something artificial? Something gorgeous? Something monstrous? Something natural?Little Miss Beast Mode dances in the blur between animals and humans, between the natural and the supernatural, the organic and the artificial.
Choreographer and dance artist Andreas Haglund moves through a cavalcade of creatures, tracing the ideological tensions behind staged biomimicry. What ideas of nature do portrayals of the natural world reveal? And who is welcome in that very nature?In Little Miss Beast Mode an array of beasts—grotesque, cutesy, confused and unhinged —frollick through the hazy maze of the black box. These constantly transforming apparitions sniff out the promises of queer ecology. What happens when nature is articulated from a position denied access to the so-called "natural”?
With a crack of the whip, Little Miss Beast Mode snaps through the rigid confines of this supposed naturality, leaving behind a wild mesh of beasts that dance out a world where nature is anything but fixed. Something is really moving in the bushes.
ON MELODRAMA
For Camilla Lind, performance is a kind of "Lab for exciting illusions". A place to dwell on the impossible, the ambivalence and what is not yet defined by name. She examines the body as a fluid entity that can be weakened and cracked. She is concerned with how the personal can articulate the structural and how mistakes, chaos and humor can be used as tools to push the changing potentials of the body, gender and mind.
In her new performance MELODRAMA, she takes inspiration from the genre of gothic melodrama, which can be seen both in film, literature and in the TV phenomenon soap opera. Here, strong emotions are mixed with elements of the supernatural, and in the artist's version, supplemented with references to pop and subculture and located somewhere between reality and fiction. Central to the performance is a female character who seems to be in the liminal space, where she through a series of transformations of herself searches for the possibility of communicating with the deceased. As a way to come to terms with his own grief.
By using choreographed sound elements and movement, a distorted ghost universe arises which exists as a kind of one-woman show for the dead. Interplay with cinematic techniques, as well as the captivating convergence of music and drama, the work unfolds a multi-layered and circular narrative, where nothing is as it first appears. MELODRAMA is a sensuous exploration of what dance and choreography can entail, push and open up.
