KNIGHTS
When the systems around us crumble; where do we turn, what do we believe in, and what are we training for now?
​
KNIGHTS is a movement-led performance work blending dance, theatre and documentary to explore how a generation under pressure searches for meaning when the structures and systems around them crumble. Focused on young men, and centred around gyms, fight-training centres and gaming rooms, this interdisciplinary performance explores how belief, identity and community are formed amid political, social and ideological upheaval.
Responding to a wider cultural shift towards a “medieval mentality” - with a pull toward authoritarian symbols, mythic hero-figures, strongman ideals, rigid masculinities, and gym-driven self-optimisation cultures.​​​​​​​
​
We are doing research and looking to engage young men who are engaged in phyiscal and/or gaming training. If that is you - get in touch.
