KIM is a study of war and peace. The project will investigate and disassemble larger than life displays of power, extravagantly choreographed made-for-TV military parades, propagandic transmissions of mixed up realities, and the asshole wizard hiding behind the curtain. A choreographic performance will be created addressing questions of subversive survival strategies and roller coaster rides.
