A pop-cultural collision of working-class and queer expression: the duo BULLYACHE uses vocabulary from circus, ballet, acrobatics, pop, and TikTok to create an exceptionally original and radical variation of contemporary dance theater. “We are Pina Bausch cosplaying as Dua Lipa performing albums as theater works,” say Courtney Deyn and Jacob Samuel about themselves.

Their latest work A Good Man is Hard to Find premiered at the Biennale di Venezia and is inspired by the 2008 financial crisis and the “Cremation of Care” ceremony – an annual ritual ceremony of the private club Bohemian Grove, where the global elite symbolically banish their guilt. The precise choreography deals with the absurd world of financial capitalism, management and its power games, hierarchies, toxic masculinity, humiliations, austerity and scapegoating mechanisms. In a dark and fucked-up scenario, an office party at the end of the world unfolds: New compositions by the duo are interwoven with Shostakovich’s Chamber Symphony in C minor – and elitist bankers act out their emotional devastation without regard for the consequences, ultimately culminating in a dramatic sacrificial ritual worthy of a Greek tragedy.
