About Hang Time
LIMITED EARLY BIRD TICKETS AVAILABLE*
A choreographic meditation on hanging out. Hanging in the air. Hanging in there. Hanging by rope. Hanging braids off the nape of the neck. Hanging on to life. Hanging by a thread. Hanging bodies. Duration. Divination. Invocation. Congregation. Haunting.
Building upon Marikiscrycrycry’s decade-long practice of motorising otherwise fatalistic and marginal perspectives, Hang Time engages an emergent mode of creation that is at once genre-defying and spiritually itinerant.
Suspended between bouyon and soca, séance, ritual, social gathering, and catastrophe, the work transforms hanging into a social, historical, choreographic, and metaphysical condition. Through states of endurance, collapse, congregation, and reverberation, Hang Time listens to the gulf in order to sense what remains suspended in the air after disappearance.

It turns out to be the key to one of the strangest, darkest and most affecting dance works I have ever seen.

The element of surprise is alive and well in Goner, a horror-infused choreographic piece that scintillates and fascinates with frightful dexterity.

About Marikiscrycrycry
Malik Nashad Sharpe is a choreographer, movement director, and creative strategist working internationally across dance, theatre, film, music, and commercial advertising. Underneath his alias Mariksicrycrycry, his choreographic practice constructs worlds for the stage that draw on horror, dark fantasy, and speculative fiction.
These works often explore affect, embodiment, and the marginal perspective whilst engaging in questions around violence, theoretical nihilism, melancholia, and the cultural logics of entertainment. Alongside this practice, Sharpe works internationally as a movement director in theatre. He develops the physical language of productions from Shakespeare, to contemporary writing and interdisciplinary performance, and has worked at venues like Shakespeare’s Globe, Sadler’s Wells, Young Vic, the Royal Court, Lyric Hammersmith, Hallen am Berghain, the Serpentine, amongst others.
