We Will Survive Together


Performance
Market Gallery, 
Glasgow, Scotland
2023“We will survive together“ is a performance working towards body empowerment and the art of letting go, shamelessly. Inspired by Jazzercise routines, nights out and Karaoke gone wrong, this performance will transport you to the VHS era. Think of the kid in you who would create a routine to perform for the adults before dinner. Are you the kid or the adult, either way the performer and the audience becomes one. The routines will get you through the day, and inspire you to embrace your inner Jane Fonda from outer space or on a green field back in ’98. Located close to the Barrowlands but not far from the green-field the collective experience will bring us together, everyone’s equally a winner and a loser. Get your best running shoes out, we are – shameless together!

Creative Degrowth Scotland ELINA BRY is French/Finnish, Glasgow based multidisciplinary artist and award-winning filmmaker. They work across video, storytelling and live performance, and is interested at listening to and re-staging the malfunctions of the human body. They are curious about the body as a sentient arena; as a responsive tool and as a protagonist of an everyday drama. By that, they investigate the known, model it and work in collaboration with the instability of their body. It is essential that they don't cause any harm as they want to challenge their body with the everyday, in order to give a stage and witness what is already there.
The thematic undercurrents of ecology and slow travel prominently weave through their artistic endeavours. Through their multidisciplinary approach, they seek to unravel the nuanced interplay between the human form and its environment, exploring the intricacies of the body while maintaining a conscientious connection to ecological and sustainable principles.
