INTRODUCTION

I address you is a personal and societal solo that Carl Knif has created for himself. Drawing on his own personal experiences, Knif’s performance alternates memories and past events with more recent phenomena that put self-esteem, inviolability and empathy to the test.

The performance aims to make visible the unwritten history of the gay minority. How do silenced experiences affect us? In what way are traumas passed on from one generation to the next? And how do we build an identity in an environment where there are no role models?

The longing for real encounters and deep conversations is the driving force behind this furious dance. I address you encourages conversation and champions the idea of a better world – it wants to get to the heart of life, to step close to you.

The event is organized by Carl Knif Company.

Please familiarize yourself with the programme before the performance.
