AN EVENING OF BODY FLOW

Another Life, a non-profit association, brings together renowned choreographer and dancer Marie Kaae, algorithm artist Ada Ada Ada, and performance artist ELLE FIERCE for a night of performances united by a single theme: water.  

Each work arrives from a different place: the body, the code, the choreography. Yet all three ask the same quiet questions. How do we flow? How do we resist? How do we hold one another?

Marie Kaae will perform an extended scene from her latest solo “What she Said”, mixing poetry and dance, under the title “La Mere”.  

Under the title “The Internet is an ocean of data” Ada Ada Ada will perform a performance about the connections between cyberspace and water.

ELLE FIERCE will be presenting a new performance work titled “WHITE SWAN – MANUFACTURED RITUALS FOR AN OBEDIENT BODY”. ‍

Marie Kaae (she/her) is a Danish-Kurdish-Cameroonian choreographer and dancer with more than 30 years of experience at the performing arts scene and 20 years of specialization in house dance. She is renowned internationally as a performing artist as well as in the subculture, and her work evolves around the relation between music and dance as essential, and subjects concerned with authenticity, truth and soul.  ‍

Ada Ada Ada is an algorithmic artist and technology communicator. She works with gender, queerness, and bodies as perceived by computers through algorithms, software, and artificial intelligence. Ada Ada Ada moves across art forms, and her practice has so far included performative photography, video art, generative art, web art, short stories, interactive installations and live artificial intelligence performance. In the center of Ada’s practice lies the question: How can algorithms be used in innovative ways to understand and challenge experiences of gender, queernessand bodies? ‍

ELLE FIERCE is a performance artist, visual artist and DJ, based in the UK and Europe. After a decade-long career as a classical ballet dancer, her practice now spans performance, installation, film and sound, rooted in the belief that the body is a potent point of departure for resistance and transformation. Her work confronts hegemonic constructs of race, gender, and beauty, by interrogating Western aesthetic paradigms and their exclusionary legacies. She explores the dualities of visibility and representation — how they liberate and constrain under the weight of racialisedand gendered ideals.
