MARIKISCRYCRYCRY: Mise-en-Crise
Choreography by Marikiscrycrycry
Directed & Edited by Elena Isolini
From Night, to Sunrise, to Day, to Night, Mise-en-Crise relies upon a documentary-style framework to follow and visiblise the formal construction of atmosphere and persona. By materialising an aesthetics that is admittedly not-here, unknown, joyous, flamboyant, gestural, defiant and even ritualistic, Mise-en-Crise is making an attempt to create conditional desires for an unspoken and untold Freedom and Fantasy for the marginalised subject. Dancing on top of the vortex of a crafted, apocalyptic visual and subtextural narrative that doesn't give into its own fatalism, yet ruminates on the question, βAnd what to be thrown into crisis?β We create the possibility of Hope from Nothing. Even if it is unknown. Even if it remains far out on the horizon.
