The Very Unlikeliness (I’m Going to KILL You!)
“In this duet, choreographer Chris Yon and dancer Taryn Griggs imagine and execute speculative systems with tendencies towards a schematic simultaneism, performing contrary actions alongside one another. The two will maul, mangle and make mincemeat out of these unglamorous actions. They will not tremble, drawing the threads of notions, the interlacing of opposites, zigzagging through a treacherous mixture of dream and deed. They will not be sentimental. (They will be very sentimental.)” – Chris Yon
