Hold yr ache 2 my ache
Slow burner with a heated heart. Enraged, more salt. As unready as stubborn. With Hold yr ache 2 my ache Zeynab Kirikou Gueye and Lau Lukkarila take their unfolding collaboration to the black box. Joined by performer Marika Peura in a scenography created by artists Ju Aichinger and Val Holfeld, sound, dance and gut feelings meet as expressive protagonists. The piece researches the emotionality of the body and how it gushes out of different social and historical contexts. With Laura Hähnel behind the logistics, the artistic process is accompanied by a co-working care team mirabella paidamwoyo* dziruni as racial awareness doula and Claire Lefèvre as performance doula. In a fountain-like dramaturgy, an asymmetrical spillover of embodied as well as fictional feelings surge from restraints of structural oppression and the alluring appeals of affect. Lowkey annoyed and flirty. Audaciously cringe. Overstimulated, feeling it all.
