UNTIL DEATH DO US PART is a dance performance emerging from the shadowlands of inner darkness. It flirts with the themes of letting go and bidding farewell to what we no longer need.
A solo in leather pants and bags of gravel –or a solo for more than one body – the work is a sketch of possible solutions to the (fictional) struggles of the future.
UNTIL DEATH DO US PART is the newest chapter in Sanna Blennow’s ongoing solo project, SOLO(W)NG—an experimental autobiography based on the true story of (un)finished kaleidoscopic life events, where significant personal experiences and imagined futures are reinterpreted as a series of performances. It is an alternative to the written and printed autobiography found in bookstores; it is something unique and ephemeral that you can only experience by participating in the live performance. Its choreographic format integrates text, movement, sound, and objects.
Sanna Blennow
Sanna Blennow (b. 1988, SE) is a choreographer, performer, and educator, based in Copenhagen, always curious to challenge formats and crossbreed artistic processes. Blennow’s practice investigates time, memory and the in-between, positioning her practice in the grey zone between the black box and the white cube, set choreography & improvisation, a sanctuary & a rupture. In these liminal spaces, the body enters an undefined zone, where anything can happen for a set time, where the monsters come out, and intuition guides.
Blennow’s practice is one of time travel. She revisits past works, trying to dance all the different versions of oneself. Each past choreography marks a specific moment in time, a different context and version of herself. By remembering each at once, she allows one score to lead into another, layering time together and re-composing live to see process and presentation as one in the same.
