You're Here (Hooray!)
Concept by Orla Collier
Co-created and performed with Magdalena Górnikiewicz
Commissioned by hÅb|Word of Warning and Z-arts for Haphazard 2023
You're Here (Hooray!) is a 90-minute durational duet which explores the need for touch and attachment. Both performers wriggle around each other, intertwined and knotting themselves up, both motivated by their own need for touch – perhaps at the expense of the other.
​
In the space is a bag of belts, a basket of confetti, and a sign which states, 'When the performers are still, please shower them with confetti'.
​
At any point, the performers have the option to reach into bag of belts, and attach themselves to the other performer. Once they are attached, they become still for a duration. In this intimate moment, the audience are invited to shower them with confetti. This is to celebrate the attachment whilst creating an image of chaos and messiness.
