The word “killjoy” refers not only to the concept of ‘joy’, but also to the act of disturbing and questioning. This tension between joy and disruption leads caner teker to a deep examination of grief as a physical experience. In ‘killjoy’, grief is not only depicted as an emotional experience, but is also embodied through physical intensity and movement.
Together with Élie Autin and Julia Plawgo, teker uses the body as a tool to reveal the often hidden facets of grief. The performance questions how the physical expression of loss influences emotional processes and makes them visible. The black box theatre space becomes a place where the boundaries between performer and audience are blurred.
Here, grief is not only observed, but experienced - as a physical confrontation and emotional journey. “killjoy” creates a space in which the complexity of grief can be experienced, reflected upon and shared in all its nuances. The performance unfolds a power that goes far beyond words and reveals the profound connection between physical expression and emotional experience.
