Are You Coming to My Pyjama Party? is a choreographic exploration of collective vulnerability, emotional excess, and the cultural codes of intimacy among female-identifying bodies. Blending strength with softness, chaos with stillness, and physical rigor with moments of deep reflection, the piece invites the audience into a world that feels at once domestic and sacred.
Rooted in sensations of hygge (warmth, coziness) and gourmandise (pleasure, indulgence), it celebrates fleeting moments of closeness. The tenderness of sleepovers, the messiness of womanhood, the beauty of unfiltered emotion. Through a tapestry of unison and individuality, the choreography reimagines femininity in all its contrasts: gentle yet wild, still yet intense, collective yet deeply personal.
Visually inspired by Baroque and Neoclassical portraiture - from Artemisia Gentileschi’s Judith and Her Maidservant and Elisabetta Sirani’s Portia Wounding Her Thigh to works by Ingres and Godward - the performers embody these images as living tableaux: moments of breath-held stillness set against extremes of physicality.
In close proximity to the audience, without direct interaction, the performers create an intimate, atmospheric world where connection, vulnerability, and the chaos of togetherness can unfold.
