  • CRASHOUT

    4th - 6th March, 7.30pm

    CRASHOUT is a new site-specific solo work by Marikiscrycrycry that takes in Impermanence’s new home for dance in Bristol.

    Continuing a legacy of the choreographer’s investigation into dark fantasy, horror, and the choreographic form, CRASHOUT unfolds a tapestry of symbols, aesthetics, and subaltern narratives that directly engage with the ancient iconography of the Ouruoboros (the snake that eats its own tail), the seminal experimental metal album Uroboros by Japanese avant-metal band Dir en Grey, and the interrogation of biographical tension, affect generation, rage and regret.
