Xenia Koghilaki: Bang Bang Bodies
TANZTAGE BERLIN 2023
Sophiensaele
Bang Bang Bodies embarks on a choreographic journey into the collective imaginary. What brings bodies together? Where can the experience of togetherness be situated? The work uses headbanging – common in the metal and punk scenes, rituals, and protests – as an endless chain of reciprocity of space and time, sweat and breath, but also historical, cultural and political particles between bodies. On stage, two performers explore the effect of exhaustion, repetition and persistence, bringing out both personal and cultural memories and ideas of how we perceive our bodies in relation to others and the world. They engage in an exchange that is never static but always turbulent.
