‘SLIT SHOW’ by Karis Zidore
November 2026
SLIT SHOW by Karis Zidore //
A revealing dance. An opening show.
Slit Show cuts through the masquerade of the exterior and slides along the slits to the interior. It’s a dance for a theater and an open mouth. A tease for the space between curtains and coming. An inner song longing to be shown.
Through removal of clothing, erratic moaning and deep opera, choreographer and composer Karis Zidore strips down and exposes inner states in the theater spotlight. Somewhere between erotics and entries, maskings and unmasking, sensing and exhibiting, a sincere show reveals itself from the curtains.
Who’s that slit? It’s the girl with no door on her mouth!
Slit Show is a solo piece by and with Karis Zidore with a premiere at Kedelhuset/Dansehallerne in October 2024.
