Performance synopsis

Agon is a choreographic mockumentary. Dominka Knapik returns to the stage as a performing artist to talk about jobs “for a lifetime”: an artist and a mother. She also faces her own biography of a workaholic choreographer who struggles with the eternal sense of guilt a busy mother feels towards her child. The artist works with a highly personal material detonated by the self-deprecating form of a mockumentary.
