Goner
Costume for dance
2023
Goner marks the return of Malik Nashad Sharpe (aka marikiscrycrycry) as a solo performer, in a breathtaking explaration of what the horror genre can provide for the field of contemporary dance.
Premiering at The Yard Theatre on April 18 2023, as part of the NOW23 festival, it is a touring piece with scheduled dates in Copenhagen, Skopje and Stockholm.
Goner is a doomed figure. Restless and vengeful they are pacing the collective subcounsciuoss of the performance space, looking for a way out. The performance is seeking to address issues such as migration, alienation and desire.
The costume comes out of a close creative relationship with the choreographer, and utilises their distinct movements as well as the social codes projected onto their body, set design and audience. It plays with desire and fear, attraction and repulsion.
