BLIKK
Mine Nilay Yalcin
Girls don't spit.
Girls do not swear.
Girls do not glare.
Girls don't hit back.
Girls do not fight.
Girls do not kick.
Girls don't push other girls' heads into the ground.
Did you think...
The year is 2018, in a schoolyard in Oslo, a group of girls clash in a mass brawl. Just a few days later, it happens again. The headline in the media reads: "Girls fight over 'glaring' in the schoolyard".
Staring is often invisible.
It is only visible to the person who is subjected to it.
It's a phenomenon where people use the "gaze" to exert power.
Being subjected to "staring" can be perceived as threatening. And staring quickly becomes the basis for major conflicts.
And the conflicts that arise. They degenerate into mass fights.
BLIKK is an explosive and rhythmic performance with only girls in the ensemble on stage.
It's a performance that hits you like a punch in the gut, transforming good girls into uninhibited warriors and Medusa's doubles.
What happens when bullying leads to violence? How do we view girls who fight? Can violence be attractive? And what are the consequences?
