Cyprianus Radio #4 - Karis Zidore
TEXT
For Cyprianus Radio #4, Kaellingstenen has invited choreographer and composer Karis Zidore to present the choreographic choir-performance 'The Mouth and the Bog' with the talent-choir 'Fjordlyd' from Aars, Vesthimmerland.
The performance will emerge from a two-day workshop facilitated by Karis with the local choir. The final performance will be more of a process-based exploration than a finished work.
'The Mouth and the Bog' takes its inspiration from Borremosen near Aars. Together with Fjordlyd, Karis will explore the visible and invisible stories of the bog through voice and performative elements. A bog is both a hiding place where stories and destinies can sink and disappear into the terrain. But the bog is also a place capable of preserving remnants, and therefore passing down stories across time. Both a bog and a mouth have the ability to conceal and transmit — and this shared tension is the focal point of the choir-performance 'The Mouth and the Bog.'
The performance will draw on the physical surroundings and preserved stories of Borremosen, while also, in a more abstract way, focusing on the mouth and voice as places and meeting points between what can be seen and what (yet) cannot be seen
Meeting point: 2:00 PM in front of ALFA (Jyllandsgade 54, 9600 Aars)
Dress according to the weather – if the weather stays dry, the choir-performance will take place outside, followed by an artist talk.

About the artist:
Karis Zidore is a choreographer and composer based in Copenhagen. Through body, voice, and sound, her choreographic practice moves between charged images and intimate states. She often draws on gendered vocal and bodily expressions, only to tease, disrupt, and reshape them. Karis has collaborated with choreographers such as Emilie Gregersen, Naya Moll, and Olivia Rivière. Most recently, she is presenting her solo performance Slit Show at Dansehallerne in Copenhagen in October 2024. She has also presented works at venues such as Copenhagen Contemporary, Den Frie Udstilling, and Teater Momentum.
Karis is a co-founder of the artistic collective Danseatelier in Copenhagen and serves as the artistic director and curator of thecarrierbag festival alongside Emilia Gasiorek. Under the alias Gel, Karis has been releasing abrupt and inconsistent dance music since 2018 on record labels such as Kulør, Petrola80, and Escho, and has performed on Drift Radio.
