LULEÅ DANS & CIRKUSRESIDENS 2022
It Shouldn't Have Legs by FAUNA
(11th of April – 22th of April)
Under två veckor arbetar cirkuskollektivet Fauna med verket It Shouldn't Have Legs. Residensperioden avslutas med Sverige premiär den 23 April klockan 18.00 på Dansinitiativets scen.
6 beings, 14 legs? Time lapsing fungus and a chair with real hair…
A web of vibrant mycelium sculpts a surrealist meta landscape, tangling six artists as they connect and disconnect from their surroundings and from each other. One feels nostalgic of real touch, of dirty hands. Another is captivated by the possibilities of future invention. Someone is stuck still. They are focused on something, a mushroom growing perhaps… one is a mushroom? Another searches, shedding their skin, itching in it as they find their way through passing time. Besides them somebody seems content.
Hopeful for harmony, this piece explores symbiosis, from that found in nature to that we cultivate, and the connectivity between us all.
The aim of residency is to have a concentrated period of time to wrap up the creative journey of It Shouldn't Have Legs. The challenge of this residency is to work on the dramaturgy and the knitting together of all our ideas and physical content.
