Surfacing HypoKrisia is a series of performative spells/efforts that invoke manifestions of the speculative mythological figure: HypoKrisia. These efforts are expressed through the use of different medias/mediums — dances appearing and disappearing throughout three days, and an endless, unedited, live-written email correspondence between the artist Charlie Laban Trier and HypoKrisia, a secretive ghost-writer, and hopefully other voices.

Charlie Laban Trier (1987, he/him) is a dancer and choreographer. Charlie is a member of Jacuzzi — an artist-run space in Amsterdam where dance/performance and other time-based medias swim together. He graduated from the AHK School for New Dance Development in 2018. He works with various artists internationally — both as a performer and as a collaborator. Charlie thinks of dance as a slippery matter, a joker that can instantaneously inhabit many images, seducing its viewers while cheekily sliding out of shape. He’s interested in spaces where we all have to work through the complications of participation and that calls for every-body’s responsibility for disrupting fixed structures and ideas.

Angelica Stathopoulos (they/them) is a philosopher, writer, and translator. Angelica is passionate about the passive aspects of existence, and their feminine undercurrents. They are currently writing an article entitled “The Boredom of Whoredom”, which will appear in the Journal of Lesbian Studies’ special issue on “Lesbians, Sex Work, Resistance.” Angelica is also translating Luce Irigaray’s magnum opus Speculum de l’autre femme from French to Swedish.
