Cosmetic Demons: A Choreographic Salon – The Pop Up Version

Welcome to the hair salon where your inner demons can take place, be shared and celebrated! In an extravagant event, the audience becomes part of a cosmetic transformation where fantasies and dreams are interspersed with direct encounters.

In Cosmetic Demons: A Choreographic Salon – The Pop Up Version the hair salon is a place where gossip, emotions and personal processes are made visible. In front of the chairs – where the mirror usually is – you now meet one dancer, one hairdresser, and one customer playing out a choreographic idea that turns into a salon.

In this  immersive experience, the audience gets a glimpse  into the hair salon as a social space. Through dance-transformative actions, the intimacy between hairdresser and customer becomes central.

Through curiosity, Sindri challenges the audience, and through visual shifts, a metaphorical room is created where one can be together. 

This event is the premiere of the installation version of the stage performance, created with three local dancers, that improvise to the music of Andreas Tilliander  Audiences can come and go during the three hours.
