shivr is a being of the twilight. Neither nor. Both and. Living between the realms of the ill and the well. shivr is undying ongoingly. A crack in your porcelain politics.
shivr [gyse, gåsehud] is a body horror dance solo by choreographer Ar Utke Ács. The performance centers experiences of chronic illness and queer embodiment through the fictional character, shivr. shivr claims the monstrous body as a form of non-binary resistance and invites the audience into a portrait of a non-conforming being.
The performance is created in collaboration with artist Sofie Winther/Puer Parasitus and photographer and visual artist Fryd Frydendahl with textual conspiracies developed with poet Yolanda Aurora Bohm Ramirez.
shivr is the first performance of the unapparent trilogy which portrays non-binary positions from the queer and chronically ill body. Each performance represents a character, an archetype, and each proposes another body-mind and thus another worlding.

Ar Utke Ács is an artist working with contemporary dance and performance in the expanded field of choreography.
