RESOLUTION 26: Hannah Todosijczuk, SYNECHO and Kill Your Darlings

Resolution Festival

This image is divided into three parts. On the top, a nude woman lying on a sofa draped with a painted canvas, captured upside down, holding an intense gaze forward. In the centre, a person in a black costume stands at the front, looking downward, while a group behind her extends their arms to create a geometric pose against a background suggesting a church setting. On the bottom, in a setting featuring a grassy field with trees, a red brick building, and a cloudy sky, there are four blurred figures, three gathered outside, and one emerging from the building accompanied by orange smoke.

Rotting Home

I invite you into my home… a home for my future baby. My space, my vessel, my concealed rot in all its glory.

Join Hannah Todosijczuk as she communicates her lived experience of endometriosis. Through embodied movement an internal battle becomes visible; constant dismissal is finally heard, and the reclamation of power unfolds. This work takes you on the intimate journey of a woman advocating for Endo’s invisible community. Through the exploration of strength, struggle, and sensuality, it confronts the gaze and challenges how we perceive female pain.

Chronos

A contemporary dance theatre work that evokes a mythic journey through time. Inspired by the Greek god of time and Dunhuang cosmology, it conjures cycles of memory, ritual, and rebirth.

Four dancers lead audiences into a liminal space where East meets West, and ancient echoes intertwine with the present. Movement blends Dunhuang grace with contemporary and street dance, woven with cinematic imagery that heightens its dreamlike atmosphere. Costumes merge flowing robes and tailored suits, reflecting shifting identities, migration, and change.

Chronos is both intimate and expansive – an act of belonging, transformation, and the poetry of cultural fusion.

pyro

A fire alarm blares. No one moves. “This happens every Monday”, Joan mutters.

We know the exits, we’ve walked the routes, we indifferently rehearse catastrophe. pyro is an interdisciplinary choreographic and sonic performance exploring fire as both literal and symbolic force: ritualistic, destructive, transformative, political.

It fragments and abstracts fire drills, witch trials, club culture, and the numbness of collective inaction. At its core lies the paradox of fire: liberation and destruction, alarm and apathy.

Drawing inspiration from Pina Bausch, Forced Entertainment, and rave culture, pyro invites audiences into a world where warnings blur with spectacle, and crisis becomes choreography.
