Program Slit Show Karis Zidore 9.–13.10.2024

About the work A revealing dance. An opening show.

Slit Show cuts through the masquerade of the exterior and slides along the slits to the interior. It’s a dance for a theater and an open mouth. A tease for the space between curtains and coming. An inner song longing to be shown.

Through removal of clothing, erratic moaning and deep opera, choreographer and composer Karis Zidore strips down and exposes inner states in the theater spotlight. Somewhere between erotics and entries, maskings and unmasking, sensing and exhibiting, a sincere show reveals itself from the curtains.

About the Choreographer

Karis Zidore (she/her) is a choreographer and composer based in Copenhagen. Through body, voice and sound her choreographic practice moves between loaded images and heartfelt sensations. In her works she often departs from gendered voice and body materials in attempt to tease, disrupt and reshape. She is a co-founding member of Danseatelier, and the artistic director and curator of thecarrierbag festival together with Emilia Gasiorek. Karis has collaborated with a.o. choreographers Emilie Gregersen, Olivia Rivière and Naya Moll. She has presented works at Dansehallerne, Copenhagen Contemporary, Den Frie Udstilling and Momentum.

With the alias Gel she has released abrupt and inconsistent dance music through labels such as Kulør, Petrola80 and Escho.
