Premiere! Stina Nybergs “CHEST”, Elverket @ STHLM DANS 8th of May 2024

The fear that the human race might not survive has been replaced by the fear that it will endure.* In an attempt to imagine a different world, Chest brings us closer to the collapse as a common ground from which new creatures can emerge. Creating hybrids that are not cars, but creatures simultaneously moving and being moved, embodying the myriad properties of protagonists, landscape, and atmosphere. Chest is a choreography at the intersection of ecology, animality, and masculinity. It folds practices around seeming binaries such as hard and soft, flaccid and erect, hairy and bald, into contradictory landscapes, switching between atmosphere and personhood in trying out ways of being nature to each other. In Chest, Stina Nyberg continues to explore new musical horizons, this time collaborating with composer Kaki King, based in New York. King is considered one of the world’s greatest living guitarists, known both for her technical mastery and for her constant quest to push the boundaries of the instrument. Chest is the third part of Nyberg’s investigation of the assholeness of (hu)mankind, as previously developed in Sweet (MDT 2022) and The Dawn Chorus (Norrdans 2022). *Middle C, William H.Gass Dates: 7th, 8th and 10th of May at Dansens Hus, Elverket @ STHLM DANS Stockholm, Sweden You will find tickets and more information HERE
