RISING: Kill Me

  • Theatre
  • Dance

Expect clothes off, skates on and plastic pistols cocked. Bach and Miley Cyrus. Big dance numbers and slights-of-hand. A visit from the spirit of Vaslav Nijinsky and a deep yearning for lithium. A confessional style that cuts through with sheer honesty and total ridiculousness.

Kill Me is the third chapter of Argentine choreographer Marina Otero’s Remember to Live series – her ongoing commitment to making radical work about her life until the day she dies. For Kill Me, Marina has taken a necessary step back from presenting her own body as a live object of research.

In the lead up, she was filming her 'midlife crisis cliche' non-stop and with an open heart until, one day, she collapsed and was given a psychiatric diagnosis. To help her work through it she’s asked four dancers, each experiencing mental illness, to create a play about going mad for love.
