His intimate creations, such as <em>FUNKENSTEIN<\/em> (2021), are full of highly imaginative beings. Its sequence, C<em>UTTING MUSHROOMS<\/em>, is influenced by the cyberpunk film <em>Tetsuo: The Iron Man<\/em> (1989) directed by Shinya Tsukamoto, in which a man transforms into a hybrid creature, between human and metal.<\/p>\n<p>In this performance by Kidows Kim, you will once again meet a strange and confusing figure. You will recognise objects and fabrics in the figure, but exactly <em>whom<\/em> you are seeing will remain unclear. It keeps wandering between the violence of the environment and Kim\u2019s strategies for dealing with that violence. Because what is the meaning of \u2018self-preservation\u2019 when you are continuously transforming?<\/p>\n<p><em>CUTTING MUSHROOMS<\/em> is a solo performance about how society views ambiguity as something monstrous. Kim\u2019s transformation is a personal act of resistance. Step into his dystopian universe \u2026 where real world conflicts are turned inside out.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-979\" src=\"https:\/\/www.buda.be\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Be-My-Guest-300x50.jpg\" alt=\"be my guest\" width=\"150\" height=\"25\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.buda.be\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Be-My-Guest-300x50.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.buda.be\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Be-My-Guest-1024x171.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.buda.be\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Be-My-Guest-768x128.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.buda.be\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Be-My-Guest-1536x256.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.buda.be\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Be-My-Guest-2048x341.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.buda.be\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Be-My-Guest-1200x200.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.buda.be\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Be-My-Guest-60x10.jpg 60w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Combine &#8216;Cutting Mushrooms&#8217; on Saturday 1 July with &#8216;Le chant du psychophone&#8217; by Antonia Baehr, &#8216;Landing on Feathers&#8217; by Jija Sohn, Aleksandra Lemm &amp; Julia Reist and &#8216;The Third Room&#8217; by Christine De Smedt, Liza Baliasnaja &amp; Theo Livesey.<br \/>\nCombine &#8216;Cutting Mushrooms&#8217; on Sunday 2 July with &#8216;Le chant du psychophone&#8217; by Antonia Baehr, &#8216;I, Too, Overflow&#8217; by \u00c8ve Gabriel Chabanon and &#8216;Landing on Feathers&#8217; by Jija Sohn, Aleksandra Lemm &amp; Julia Reist.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":19232,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19241","voorstelling","type-voorstelling","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.buda.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/voorstelling\/19241","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.buda.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/voorstelling"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.buda.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/voorstelling"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.buda.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19241"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.buda.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/voorstelling\/19241\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20708,"href":"https:\/\/www.buda.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/voorstelling\/19241\/revisions\/20708"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.buda.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/19232"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.buda.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19241"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.buda.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19241"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
