A collaboration between Léa Kieffer & Rocio Marano
LOS† NINJAS
We are all fictions, we are made of other fictions, we need to acknowledge these fictions in order to make new ones.
Los† Ninjas Practice is a rule-free, sense-filled, non-sensed, awkward practice that goes from hands-on work with the material of the body and reminds us our own survival skills. Los† Ninjas create a form of myth-making that discharge the equations by animating the varieties of play, kinds of wildness and forms of daring. Our proposal, this time, focuses on body sensory skills and experiences that dispense from the sight sense, blindfolded we are guided by what cannot be seen: guts feelings, dreams, visions, solid objects, emotions, sights, sounds, smells, or any kind of sensation.
Los† Ninjas Practice was born in 2013 when Lea Kieffer (aka Sue-Cide) and Rocio Marano (aka Cat Ninja) physically crashed into each other pulled by their obsessions of bodies colliding, flying and landing, quirky moves and fantastic storytelling. Since 2016, Los† Ninjas are sharing their practice through workshops and Performances: P-Bodies Dance and Performance Festival Leipzig, SMASH Berlin, Katalyst Festival Cologne, Bienal de Performance Buenos Aires, Intensive Workshops in Buenos Aires, Mar del Plata, Amsterdam, Freiburg, Brussels, Copenhagen, Leipzig, Martin-Gropius-Bau Berlin, LaMama New York, Handy Jam Detroit, Love-in Toronto, FTA Montreal, Dock11 Berlin, Waking Life Music Festival, Portugal.They have created several pieces and performed together: Pink Blue Martini (2013), Ibiza Labour Camp (2014), Ibiza Revenge (2015), The Genesis of Los† Ninjas / Drawing the Mandala (2015), Matter of Blood (2016), Insanity Solo (2017), Los† Ninjas on the Road –On Travelling, espionage and finding alternative paths (2018), Blind Date Literally (2018-9).
