POWER SHAME

DOCK 11

Production Details / Press Releases

POWER SHAME is a tribute to the emotion of shame.

A shameborn werewolf strives towards the longed-for act of liberation. It is a full moon.
An Easter celebration ends in a massacre. What does shame do to a person?

In a playful environment of virtual escapism, themes of (dis)connection and (un)worthiness are made visible in the inevitable struggle to make the right choices. Queerness rides on rage to unveil internalized shameful emotions – and dance becomes the drive for a subconscious journey to the hidden parts of one’s personality. Shame is celebrated, crushed and rejected – but most of all exposed.

Yannis Karalis was born in small town Grevena, Greece in 1984. He commenced with engineering in automatic systems, but soon turned towards performative arts. He studied dance, improvisation and performance, partly at the National School of Orchestral Art in Greece, Athens and fully at TIP, Freiburg and has been working as a dancer, choreographer, dramaturg, teacher and performer since 2009. He is currently based in Berlin. His work engages elements from singing, storytelling, abstract expression, drag and dance. He is currently exploring the topic of transformation and shame in personal, as well as social-cultural context.
