babes
Through a set of fantastic organs, babes introduces a form of worlding that doesn’t stop at the body’s borders. These organs don’t have vital functions: their byproducts are dances, sounds, objects and poems –a gathering of lovers in lust for touch.
babes cultivates a space where fantasy does matter, matter does fantasy, and where sensual experiences are one’s primary way of staying in touch with the world. babes is the prelude to farkas’ first evening-length group piece mama and the first work created through organ-ing, a choreographic research queering the body by weaving together fantasy with its physically felt sense.
(they/them) is a gathering of cells with a passion for choreography, dance, organisation, romance and mischief. Being lost in Stockholm, Budapest, Vienna, or somewhere in between, they dream of belonging to sensual spaces where not only humans are invited to dance. Their choreographic work has been presented in venues and festivals such as Zürcher Theater Spektakel, Trafó House of Contemporary Arts (Budapest), Dansehallerne (Copenhagen), Open House Festival (Limassol), Dansmakers Amsterdam, and MDT (Stockholm) a. o. farkas holds a BA in Contemporary Dance from the Amsterdam University of the Arts and an MFA in Choreography from the Stockholm University of the Arts.
