About

A fierce duet between two women, Knockout is a self-possessed, ever-morphing cinematic dance that contends with the nature of the liminal and concrete reality & unreality. Intoxicating, provoking, & surreal, the work charges the spaces between attraction and danger, strength and survival, and how we see and what we see.

Erin Kilmurray & Kara Brody’s choreographic graphic novel jump cuts through a thrill-ride of fight sequences, toothful camp, intimacies, power dynamics, and relationships that sidestep tidy categorization, asking what happens in the disorienting moment between the point of contact but before we hit the floor?
