How the Hares are Dying | Private Inventory
- a double bill of ontological insecurity -
Wildly differing in style, these two-handers both played with ideas of disappearance to our sense of being. The episodic ritual of Private Inventory, conceived as a choreography of the hidden,
was followed by an imaginary workshop of Joseph Beuys, the setting for an exploration of self-sacrifice and transformation in How the Hares are Dying.
Hares has developed into an ongoing solo work by Tuka, How the Hare is Dying, more details at tuka.link

T: Many of you are asking me, why wrestling? Wrestling is my song of love, song of freedom. W: What I like about fight? That I never know what to expect next, constant surprises and having to be ready. T: Yeah. Fight, Fight - That's All We Can Do, and the show must go on!

A multimedia tragicomedy mixing the Greek myth of Eurydice with the contemporary news item of a jilted Chinese bride whose groom’s sudden cold feet had prompted her, with her wedding dress on, to attempt the jump from a 7th-floor window.

gloria!
Searching for poetic inspiration from great literature, in boyband choreography, even from within their (oft-stolen) identities, the ‘Pathetic Quartet’ construct situations in which to celebrate triviality in the sublime and the infinity of irrelevance, and ultimately to attempt nothing less than a resurrection of the spirit of Romanticism. Gloria! gloria!

MUTE, in which the performer paradoxically resigned from her initiative and put herself through other artists' experiences that she had not been part of but had become part of her. A collection of names, titles, statements and stolen choreographies in the context of a personal struggle with reality, with the border between stage and audience.
