Performance
The performance is part of CC10 – a three-day festival of performance, talks, and concerts at Copenhagen Contemporary, taking place from 23–25 January. The festival brings together artists, performers, and musicians in an intensive programme where performance unfolds across a wide range of forms and formats.
Over the course of all three days, audiences can experience a rich and varied programme of performances, talks, and concerts that activate the entire space of CC and create encounters between body, sound, movement, and storytelling.
Self Tape is an exploration of precarious work, identity, queerness, exhaustion, and humiliation in late capitalism. We follow an androgenous creature with light blue skin, long ears and red boots, that is being held captive in an eternal casting limbo by an unknown entity that only takes the shape of a menacing buzzer sound and a red light.
The creature that is part monster, part pop princess is struggling to find a role that it can play, as it code switches between famous monsters and divas throughout the time: Gollum, Frankenstein’s monster, Marilyn Monroe and Dolly Parton among others. When the creature is not performing monologues, dancing or playing music with its long nails, it tries to answer questions about its prior work experience, but ends up talking about its ex and childhood instead. “What are you looking for?” the creature asks in a mix between frustration, flirtation, and fear…
