The performances will be postponed to the spring. Keep you eyes open for new dates.

Passivity Rules / Memories of Being Hanged is a performance based on movement and speech, premiering at Skogen in 2022. Passivity Rules / Memories of Being Hanged builds on experiences of being tied, especially in the context of rope bondage. The piece is a spin-off of the performance Someone You Trust (from 2018).


MORE ABOUT THE SHOW
Passivity rules are systems where passivity facilitates something, opens up something. It is also an interjection, putting passivity first: Passivity rules!

Memories of being hanged stands for experiences of losing control over one’s passivity, being close to dying or disappearing, concretely or metaphorically. Passivity Rules/Memories of Being Hanged is about what is going on in a body that seems to sink, let go, lose its grip – or that actually does.

Here, passivity is related to femininity. Our entry point to that is feminist. It’s not that we want to demonstrate that Women Can Do It (be active). Rather, we want to examine passivity as a lived experience, demanding competences and having consequences.
