“Moving energy—is Kilmurray’s specialty; you don’t so much watch her choreography with your eyes as feel it pulsate through flesh, tendon and bone”.
newcity magazine
A fierce duet between two women, Knockout is a self-possessed, ever-morphing cinematic dance work contending with the nature of the liminal : a provocative study of the space between desire, intimacy, strength, and survival.
Erin Kilmurray + Kara Brody’s choreographic collage jump-cuts through a thrill-ride of fight sequences, self defense training, toothful camp, odd obsessions, and partnerships that sidestep tidy categorization.
Intoxicating, heart-stopping, and surreal, Knockout exists inside of the disorienting moment after the point of contact but just before hitting the floor.
TKO, baby.
