SKULD is a participatory performance. A communal dance in the footsteps of colonialism, with someone else’s shoes on your feet.
Guided by the performers, the visitors conduct a seance in a historical building. Together the performers and visitors perform a ritual, where they lend their bodies to someone – or something – else. The seance is gently choreographed, with respect towards everyone’s consent. The purpose is to create new positions in the room, to leave space for the difficulties that come with reconciliation and spirits of the past.
By lending ourselves as a medium and becoming symbolic holders of old debts and demands, we hope to put some ghosts of colonialism to rest.
Greetings.
