ABOUT THE PROJECT SURFACING HYPOKRISIA
For the residencies Charlie Laban Trier is bringing his performance-project: Surfacing HypoKrisia. He is researching ways to invoke HypoKrisia through performative efforts, and asks what we might learn from her presence?

HypoKrisia is a speculative mythological figure of his own fabulation, imagined as the forgotten little-sister of Tiresias, the mythical Greek blind prophet. Both HypoKrisia and Tiresias could be described as trans-figures. But while Tiresias’ transitions are seen as “complete”, HypoKrisia resists the process of full becoming, choosing a performative state of “half un-done.”

Charlie Laban Trier suggest that HypoKrisia was intentionally written out of “his”tory because her qualities and teachings were deemed unworthy or dangerous.

”I’m developing a practice that brings together HypoKrisia and myself in a complicated partnership. I’m attempting to create cracks in “the surface”, so that she can push her way through, parts of her almost appearing. I’m envisioning a dance-duet between us, or a momentarily total take-over of my body.

The research takes a curious look at the epistemological trajectory from hypokrite (ancient Greek word for actor) to hypocritical. Together we set out to embrace “hypocrisy” and follow the laws of the trickster. Our tool-box is filled with pretending, contradictory, disagreement, mimicry and faking.”

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Charlie Laban Trier (he, him), born 1987 in Copenhagen, is a performing artist who operates in a cross-polination between disciplines, but chooses to situate his practice deep within the realm of dance. Dance is the primary lens – it’s the mode/mood and how he thinks and navigates materiality. The materiality appears as bottom-barrel yells turned into songs, text-sampling, endlessly becoming costume, carrying/caring for screens, extreme sculptural headbanging and more. He considers research materials as teachers, striving to listen to what they want to reveal. He sees dance as inherently messy, slippery and emergent – a form of knowledge that resists legibility.

Living as a transperson, is further a big teacher in his thinking/approach to work. Charlie thinks of transness, like dance, as a technology that helps him complicate material. It allows for embodying multiple images, seducing viewers, and shifting fluidly between forms. He graduated with a BA in choreography from SNDO (AHK, amsterdam) in 2018. He’s a member of Jacuzzi – an artist-run space in Amsterdam where dance/performance and other time-based medias swim together – collectively organizing public events and workshops.
