Zygote Workshop in Stockholm

- Zygote is preparing new proto-events that will be shown at Weld in Stockholm in spring 2025.

Zygote is project where performance artists, dancers, musicians and researchers in foetal development are working together. Zygote is a mobile laboratory that moves between different Swedish urban and natural locations. The work is a collective investigation, where the audience is actively involved in shaping the results.

The process does not result in a final performance, instead the working group conducts a series of ongoing investigations together with different audience groups. We call these proto-performances. This makes the work an ongoing and investigative process.

The Zygote team with members from Ireland and Åland will be in residence at Höjden in Stockholm January 9-16, 2025.
