Just after Science killed God we went dancing. We sweated out the doctrines, shook of the normatives, stomped on the old believes. We were meat and bones. We were clashing against each other, taking shapes which normally didn’t belong to our bodies. Blood rushed through our veins like they were highways which could take us to places we didn’t know. Heads about to explode, the world almost falling apart. I knew it’s still will be there the next day but perhaps slightly different. Science and I would have a chia pudding and she will try to explain it all to me. What I didn’t know was that we would open a church where one could shatter self as we know it.

Karol Tyminski is a Polish Berlin-based performer and choreographer. Developing his choreographic language, he differs from the formal aspects and explores the very physicality of the performer’s body, almost at the tissue-level, which becomes the source for choreographic material. He aims to speak about human condition, reaching the emotional side of a performer by penetrating his physicality. These activities are often close to ritualistic experiences. The main works of Tyminski are: „Liminal“ in collaboration with Icelandic Dance Company, „This is a musical”, „Pussy”, „E-sound”, „Beep“, „Doll House”, „Orlando”, „Crete for C”.
