Bed Time is a hypothetical work in the future, in which I celebrate all the ways in which being in bed has been good for me. Even the nightmares.

This is a work about preparing for dance. Which means preparing for the thing that saved me and shaped me, that I can’t (or won’t) let go, despite the disaffection I have around and for it. It is a solo, but it has at times many people. It is long, because it is not a summary, but in fact the real thing, or as close to real as possible when fitting it all onto a stage.

The Hell of the North is a hypothetical work in the future, in which I prepare for, and ride the 257 kilometres of the Paris-Roubaix race.

I wanna push you up against a wall and man-handle you a little tonight. Preferably in some dirty public toilet.

This is a performance about black metal & being a metalhead, about being an immigrant & looking white, being not Muslim but not not-Muslim, about being true to myself even if it’s only in my bedroom, & about mediæval Germanic nun-mystics, who were metal as fuck.

L’abjection is something that disgusts you, for example you see something rotting and want to vomit – it is an extremely strong feeling that is at once somatic and symbolic, which is above all a revolt against an external menace from which one wants to distance oneself.

monadologie is a performance coming from an ANAT AIR Residency at the Swinburne Centre for Astrophysics and Supercomputing.

A friend said, “You’re lucky, you get to do what we only theorise about.”
Judith said, “am I a gender after all? and do I ‘have’ a sexuality?”
Gilles said, “There are as many sexes as there are individuals”
Jean said I am not a ‘normal human’.
