Zygote at Palladium

 

- Curatorial Mutiny and Vision Forum announces another Zygote proto-event. This time, we will be at at Palladium in Malmö August 9, 2024

Zygote is project where performance artists, dancers, musicians and researchers in foetal development are working together. Zygote is a mobile laboratory that moves between different Swedish urban and natural locations. The work is a collective investigation, where the audience is actively involved in shaping the results.

The process does not result in a final performance, instead the working group conducts a series of ongoing investigations together with different audience groups. We call these proto-performances. This makes the work an ongoing and investigative process.

The audience is invited to “find their way back to” the foetal stage while their bodies are immersed in water. They are led through these experimental water exercises by a choreographer. Together with her they develop new ways of experiencing their own bodies. They do so by investigating movements that the foetus performs during its development in the womb.

Zygote is supported by Kulturbryggan.
