Kidows Kim will be working on High Gear, a solo piece that explores a corporeal collection of figures drawn from parasitized intimate memories, intertwined with imagery from alternative manga. Through this excavation, he questions the relentless cycle of production, consumption, and reincarnation. Rather than reproducing these patterns, a figure seeks to subvert their mechanisms, disrupt their repetition, and break free from their hold.

Kidows Kim (KR)

Kidows Kim (KR) was born in South Korea in a satellite city. After studying graphic design and mime and a diploma for dance at the CNDC in Angers, he pursued his research at ICI-CCN Montpellier exerce master’s program from 2018 to 2020. He is interested in “Monstrarcheology”, that is to say the method of excavating an organic form consisting of unfinished microscopic transformations and a process of irrationally collecting underground imagery. His creations compose an intimate cosmogony in the form of a “dictionary of fantastical creatures”. He recently unveiled the first chapter, a strangely monstrous solo called FUNKENSTEIN (2021). He is currently working on the second, CUTTING MUSHROOMS (2023). At the same time, he develop a series of timely and ephemeral performances around his obsession for manga.
