Hornfuckers

Chaos as a strategy of resistance? Hornfuckers takes us into a postapocalyptic universe that mirrors our reality – a world that celebrates contradictions, cruelty and violence, while at the same time people are fighting to survive. Diana Niepce reconfigures the body in this system, which produces both stability and oppression: movements from dance and aerial acrobatics make the coexistence of order and chaos a balancing act on the stage, bodies push themselves beyond their limits and defy gravity. Established norms and their hierarchies start to wobble on this unstable terrain. Dark and poetic at the same time, Diana Niepce explores the question of who we really are and what the system imposes upon us.
