The solo performance Who´s afraid of red, yellow and blue? is created and performed by Orfée Schuijt in collaboration with musician and composer Kim Myhr.
In this performance, the body of the performer plays simple games of repetition and transformation. Actions are repeated over longer duration until strange new relationships manifest themselves as «normal». Limbs, freed from their functional connection to the body as a whole, oscillate between being object and subject, generating both symmetry and chaos.
The solo asks certain questions: What are the limits of architecture within my body? Can the body be removed from its own sensual corporeality and seen as structure? Or in contrary can body parts, separated from their totality, become subjects?
Orfée Schuijt graduated from the Theaterschool of Amsterdam in 2009. Since then, she has worked with numerous choreographers such as Arno Schuitemaker, Sanna Myllylathi, Itamar Serruci, Keren Levi, Guilio D´Anna and Francesco Scavetta.
From 2010, Schuijt has been part of the Wee Company/Francesco Scavetta, and has toured the world with the performance Surprised Body Project. She is also touring the latest work of Keren Levi, The dry piece, which received the Diaphorane price at the Netherlands Day of Dance. Orfée Schuijt has also been making her own work inside the Poro Collective (FIN). She has been living in Oslo since 2012.
