ANKOKU

INTERNATIONAL PERFORMANCE FESTIVAL

16 MAJ - 21 MAJ

  • ANKOKU: ETT SCENSPRÅK

    Teater Giljotin collaborate with Emergency Theater for the first limited edition of the Ankoku International Performance Festival, to promote an artistic language with a strong avant-garde and transgressive nature.

    ANKOKU stands for darkness as a reaction against too much light.

  • BEAUTIFUL SOULS (SE)

    16 MAJ
    Experience the performance “Beautiful Souls” by Tana Maneva, inspired by Hegel’s concept of the same name, the empty shell, and the pursuit of perfection, big words, and moral superiority.

  • THE ROOM OF PLEASURE IS EMPTY (BG)

    19 MAJ
    We invite the darkest side of the soul onto the stage. We manifest those encapsulated and rejected desires that seek their way to appear in reality through distorted manipulative fetishized actions. There, body abuse, guilt, and self-abasement lead to the unattainable end of the human unconscious projected into the space of the Empty Room.

  • SCENES AT DAWN (BG)

    21 MAJ
    Scenes at Dawn is an oratorio about human helplessness, about the fear of losing the person next to us, about longing, about illusions, about the power and the solace we find in awakening. Between the dream and the crisis of the coming day, there is the time of daybreak- time of the truth that emerges between the excessive fatigue and anxiety.

OM FESTIVALEN

Initiativtagare till festivalen är Teater Giljotin och Tana Maneva, för att markera Teater Giljotins allt mer internationella profil med kontakter som Toplocentrala Center for Contemporary Art och samarbeten i Georgien, Bulgarien och Nederländerna. Tana Maneva har sedan 2017 drivit Giljotin Performance Lab - en internationell plattform för modern scenkonst, teater, experimentell konst och musik, och producerat kritikerrosade föreställningar som Strange Development (2019) och Beautiful Souls (2023).

  • 20 MAJ: EMMANUELLE JUNE

    With her music and visual art as a filmmaker, Emmanuelle is constantly creating a unique juxtaposition not often explored in pop music. She has put on shoes at famed Los Angeles locations such as The Hotel Café and Moroccan Lounge with her band at the time. She was an official artist at SXSW in 2022. June has been featured in in notable publications like Wonderland Magazine , LA Weekly, Buzz Bands LA and Louder Than War.

  • “[‘Snake Spit’] frames a dark, daunting emotional purge in four gripping minutes of experimental pop... [it’s] almost a psychoactive drug itself... The song recalls the spoken word work of Patti Smith, featuring June in full serpentine splendor, narrating over menacing beats that pulse and recede like the very urges the song embodies.”
    — Kevin Bronson, Buzzbands.LA

  • interstellar

    Sweden-born, acclaimed pop artist Emmanuelle June taps into a bleak and soulful dark night of the soul in INTERSTELLAR. A cry for completion and freedom, INTERSTELLAR takes the form of five-plus minutes of a poem written by Emmanuelle, sung from the depths of despair and hope.
