Charlie Laban Trier (Denmark) - (Headbang)

In (headbang), a drummer and two dancers in a transparent cube challenge what has stagnated. In an ecstatic physical journey, where live percussion, whispers, loops and screams merge with the hypnotic headbang cadence, they together surrender to the rhythmic energy. In one fluid movement, the dancers transform into slimy slugs, gentle lashers or mopheads, challenging just about all traditional notions of physicality and expression.

The performance toys with references to witches, intimacy and inseparability, and uses headbanging to explore these notions. The movement, often associated with the heavy metal scene, is usually affiliated with aggression.
