StM
The presentation of StM in February is cancelled due to the current restrictions limiting public gatherings. We are happy to announce that the performance will be shown in 2022 instead.
MDT will still present a season opening online including a conversation between Ofelia Jarl Ortega and Tova Gerge. During the designated working week in February at MDT, Ofelia Jarl Ortega, Natan Gullström and Christoffer Lloyd are making an independent work – a film version of StM. More information will come soon!
In StM the border between performer and spectator is not a divide but an opening. Here the borderland is a place to talk about the evasive. It is a space that pulses, yields and gives the spectator’s gaze a body.
StM is a solo and the latest piece in a series where Ofelia Jarl Ortega examines the dramaturgy of the gaze as choreographic material, where the dancer’s voluntary objectification questions the participation of the observer. In StM she approaches the topic from the singular body, and confirms the gaze’s potential as a tool of power.
- About Ofelia Jarl Ortega
Ofelia Jarl Ortega is a Chilean-Swedish choreographer and performer based in Stockholm. Her work centers around vulnerability and femininity, often with a suggestive erotic aesthetic; lately a notion of “voluntary objectification” has been at the core for her investigations. She has a MA in Choreography from DOCH, Stockholm (2014), and her works have been shown at venues including ImPulsTanz (Vienna), MDT (Stockholm), Inkonst (Malmö), Les Urbaines (Lausanne), Manifesta11 (Zürich).
