Donnie (2015)

Donnie is a bastard of desire. Our own something, our own bodies’ attraction and destruction. Ecstasy that leads to togetherness, a lesbian continuum, basement moist and cold, (sister)hood of synthesizers, autobiographical-stories yet this is not about us. V3ry much fiction. An around-ness of already known, irrelevant and partly rough, strategic and intuitive methods to live grotesque, very cool, aesthetics.

Premiere, Dansstationen, Malmö, December 2015, performed at MDT, Stockholm and Atalante, Göteborg, 2015.
