ALL THAT REMAINS

LISTEN TO CONNECTED PODCAST

• BODIES, IDENTITIES AND HISTORICAL CONSCIOUSNESS - Bodies, identities and historical consciousness play a huge role in the way we show up in the present. Starring: Mirko Guido (All that remains), Fabio Liberti (MUOVI/Did I just do that?) and Stine Nilsen (CODA - Oslo International Dance Festival).

THE CONTEXT

Italian choreographer and dancer Mirko Guido has developed his career internationally. Moving first to Switzerland, then Germany, Sweden and now Denmark, for more than 20 years Mirko has worked in many different cities and professional contexts, engaging with multiple technical, methodological and aesthetic approaches. This professional and personal journey, which has grown as a continuous encountering/converging of cultures and methods of work, has led Mirko to develop his practice in the spirit of research and as an attempt to express his relationship with the world and the others. In his work, he explores questions of intersubjectivity and the performative potential of liminal situations. Often intrigued by themes of gap, interspace and transformation, he moves between theatre, art galleries and public spaces, and by employing dance, voice, text, video, participatory and dialogical methods, his work crystallises in very different performances.

Mirko Guido (b. Italy) is a choreographer and dancer currently based in Aarhus, Denmark, and he is an in-house artist at Bora Bora – Dance and Visual Theater. He holds a Master’s degree in New Performative Practices from Stockholm University of the Arts.

He has created works for the Staatstheater Saarbrücken and the Staatstheater Wiesbaden, before moving on to projects as an independent artist. His works have been presented in various venues in Sweden, Italy, Denmark, France, Serbia, Portugal, Greece, Germany and Switzerland, and he has been artist in residence at centers such as PACT Zollverein, Uferstudios, Work Space Bruxelles, Summer Studios Rosas, Dansens Hus Stockholm, among many others.

INTERNATIONAL STRATEGY

All That Remains premieres in April 2023 at Bora Bora – Dance and Visual Theater, in Aarhus. The project grew in a Nordic dimension, thanks to the residency support of MARC in Knislinge, ccap in Stockholm, Åbne Scene – Godsbanen and Q&A Studios in Aarhus, and the co-production of Bora Bora in Aarhus and Dansenshus in Stockholm. The project was also selected for the MoreMoreMore pitch session of the Ice Hot Nordic Dance Platform – Helsinki 2022. The participation in the event allowed us to establish dialogues with several potential partners for future presentations of the piece in Denmark, Sweden and Norway. By taking part in the CPH STAGE, we want to continue building relationships with international partners in Europe to strengthen our international network and give the work a longer and more sustainable life.

WHY THIS PIECE WAS SELECTED FOR CPH STAGE

A captivating sculptural performance where bodies and objects made of waste-material co-exist and move as a united organism. This work shows a profound exploration and manifestation of slow living and healing. It is a part of the growing awareness that we need to change some things in order to regenerate earth and our being. Mirko Guido unfolds this in an intriguing, at the same time playful and stoic vision.
