You are invited to share a story from your daily lives. A story from yesterday, weeks ago, years ago; an experience you’ve had, which still resonates, that you would like to share with all of us. We will then bring your story into the space and play with it, inviting it to become our collective story. Unraveling the mythologies present within it, present within all of us.

A practice-based investigation through concept of mythology: a cultural phenomenon which shapes a community’s way-of-being and belief system. Often disguised as a natural common-sense, it is a discursive practice which deeply alters our perception of reality and, in turn, our agency to interact with it.

Taking the role of mythologists, together we examine the ways we “story” our own experiences, deciphering and tracing their impact on our attribution of meaning and value to reality. As more stories are told, we may begin to illuminate the map of our contemporary mythos and its symbolic order.

Enacting this process through improvisatory, embodied-practice, the body is taken as a material in which mythology is etched, and which therefore has the potential to scandalize it, to introduce a performative wobble which brings about an intricate and erotic deconstruction.

In this two-hour version, we will tell, retell, and dance many stories in a communal, open, and laboratorial atmosphere. The audience is asked to gather for the beginning of the event and are invited to take breaks as they need.
