Threesome

About this event

In Threesome , Wojciech Grudzinski shares the dance space with spectral figures from the past as he grapples with their legacy. In this exercise in phantasmagoric choreography, he goes cruising through the biographies of the legendary dancers Stanisław Szymański, Wojciech Wiesiołłowski, and Gerard Wilk. Brought up in post-war, communist Poland, two of them eventually emigrated, while one chose to stay in his native country. How have their bodies been remembered? How did these bodies come to recognize their sensibility and express it on stage? How can these marginalized lives be reclaimed and embodied today? How do we construct an untamed, monstrous, illogical bodily archive of queer history without losing any of their uniqueness? Threesome seeks to dispel the myths and rediscover their individual experience in a world that we were not part of. It is a hazy posthumous ballet, a repressed legacy, a reenactment, an act of somatic plunder and transformation.
