Forced Beauty (US Premiere)
April 7–9 (Friday–Saturday at 8:30pm, Sunday at 4pm)
The Downstairs Theatre
Forced Beauty by T.I.T.S. is an audiovisual physical performance about power structures, violent aesthetics, and the strangeness of empathy. The work takes a close look at the phenomenon of aestheticizing violence in media and the constant hate comments and threat toward women on the internet. Here, T.I.T.S. confronts their fascination with unrestrained expressions of violence with an exploration of mirror neurons and the audience's ability to experience physical empathy. The work incorporates a subtle soundtrack, a video, and a dense atmospheric performance that targets all the senses. Performed by Nela H. Kornetová and Lærke Grøntved.
