pOOr Butt Zany
Performance · Premiere by Daria Iuriichuk
Tickets
Inspired by Zanni, the commedia dell’arte servant and dispossessed immigrant, reborn as a gig worker, this dance solo employs this sweaty, anxious and playful virtuoso in failure to explore affective landscapes of post-socialist spaces.
In a desert of austerity and populist algorithms, the body shuffles through affective archives and erotic iconographies, asking what kind of vital forces remain when even desire feels scripted. Can the erotic be a form of agency, or is failure the body’s last act of freedom?
Drifting between late-night cartoon and psychological horror, pOOr Butt Zany fuses slapstick and autofiction into a dance for those who keep performing when the show should already be over.
