Join us at Metroland Studios on Friday 11 October for an evening featuring a brand new performance art piece from movement/performance/choreography collective: Krysa.

In their new piece, Choreography for the Hundred Thousand, Krysa will stage a performance featuring a large group of dancers, asking the audience to observe how a large, clustered mass moves together or against each other, as individuals, and as a collective.

Through their performance, they will observe what unfolds when a large number of dancers navigate a small, confined space, especially when things don’t go as planned.

Can so many people even move together in such an enclosed space?

Krysa first met on the Peer-to-Peer programme at Metroland Cultures. In November 2023, Kasia and Mateusz, who performed together at the time as Krystyna and Sabina, performed at the opening or Arsalan’s first solo exhibition, I Am Sure, Circumsure. Since then, the trio have continued to work together and are bringing this next performance to Metroland, where their collaboration began.
