WORLD PREMIERE: Knockout @ Steppenwolf 1700 Theatre

A fierce duet between two women, Knockout is a self-possessed, ever-morphing cinematic dance work contending with the nature of the liminal : a provocative study of the space between desire, intimacy, strength, and survival. 

Erin Kilmurray + Kara Brody’s choreographic graphic novel jump-cuts through a thrill-ride of fight sequences, self defense training, toothful camp, odd obsessions, and partnerships that sidestep tidy categorization.

Intoxicating, heart-stopping, and surreal, Knockout exists inside of the disorienting moment after the point of contact but just before hitting the floor. 

TKO, baby.
