Choreography for the Hundred Thousand

Choreography for the Hundred Thousand

by Krysa @krysa__co

Join us at Metroland Studios on Friday 11 October for an evening featuring a brand new performance art piece from movement/performance/choreography collective: Krysa.

In their new piece, Choreography for the Hundred Thousand, Krysa will stage a performance featuring a large group of dancers, asking the audience to observe how a large, clustered mass moves together or against each other, as individuals, and as a collective.

Through their performance, they will observe what unfolds when a large number of dancers navigate a small, confined space, especially when things don’t go as planned.

Can so many people even move together in such an enclosed space?

Krysa

Krysa are Kasia Kuzka, Mateusz Piekarski and Arsalan Isa.

In their individual practices and collective work, Krysa have recently been exploring how demographics are visualised and populations are measured, particularly through mapping tools that track population densities, migrations, and displacements. More specifically, their focus is on the space a single body occupies and inhabits—both physically and within broader cultural and political contexts.
