The artistic research
This investigation is initiated by Charlie Laban Trier, who has embarked on a research journey attempting, through performative efforts, to invoke manifestations of a speculative mythological figure: HypoKrisia.
Charlie sets out to explore resilience through the guidance of HypoKrisia - an embodiment of resistance at the margins of mythology and memory. HypoKrisia is a spin of Charlie’s own fantasy, imagined as the forgotten little sister of Tiresias, the blind prophet from Greek mythology. In this fan-fiction, both figures can be understood as trans. But unlike Tiresias, whose transitions are seen as “complete,” HypoKrisia continuously resists full becoming, choosing instead to inhabit a performative state of “half un-done.” She was deemed more dangerous by society and erased from “his”story.The work focuses on the practice of surfacing and the friction and struggle embedded in that action.
The artists
Noha will act as a dramaturgical sparring partner who will help discuss and nuance the dramaturgical arguments that shape the work - for example, how to facilitate a situation that is decidedly unannounced and can appear as an interruption or an in-between intervention. Anders, as a specialist in quirky constructions, will help build and imagine remote-controlled vehicles that animate ‘parts of HypoKrisia’.
IN PROCESS is HAUT’s 1-2 week residency format designed to provide space for physical brainstorms that support the investigation and development of new performing arts ideas.
