This investigation is initiated by Charlie Laban Trier, who has embarked on a research journey attempting, through performative efforts, to invoke manifestations of a speculative mythological figure: HypoKrisia.
Charlie sets out to explore resilience through the guidance of HypoKrisia — an embodiment of resistance at the margins of mythology and memory. HypoKrisia is a spin of Charlie’s own fantasy, imagined as the forgotten little sister of Tiresias, the blind prophet from Greek mythology. In this fan-fiction, both figures can be understood as trans. But unlike Tiresias, whose transitions are seen as “complete,” HypoKrisia continuously resists full becoming, choosing instead to inhabit a performative state of “half un-done.” She was deemed more dangerous by society and erased from “his”story.
The work focuses on the practice of surfacing and the friction and struggle embedded in that action.
THE ARTISTS
For this residency, Charlie has joined forces with two other artists:
Noha Ramadan, invited as a dramaturgical partner, and Anders Toft Pedersen, a specialist in wacky constructions.
Together with Noha, Charlie aims to discuss dramaturgical arguments shaping this work — such as how to facilitate a situation that is decidedly unannounced and can appear as an interruption or an in-between intervention. Anders will assist by building and imagining remote-controlled vehicles that animate “parts of HypoKrisia.”
Noha will act as dramaturgical sparring partner, contributing to the dramaturgical shaping of the work, while Anders, a specialist in quirky constructions, helps build and imagine remote-controlled vehicles animating “parts of HypoKrisia.”

THE RESIDENCY
This WORKSHARING is the culmination of a 1-week IN PROCESS residency, during which the artists have worked in a black box with a simple technical setup.
IN PROCESS is HAUT’s 1-2 week residency format designed to provide space for physical brainstorms that support the investigation and development of new performing arts ideas.
