As closely connected as these three sisters are, they are also fiercely independent.
In an attempt to come together, the distance becomes palpable. How close is too close?
In this physical, acapella performance, the trio gets up close, even within each other's skin. Through ritualistic choral singing, close harmony, and personal texts, they lay bare their desires for - and fears of - intimacy.
The sisters Joske (actress), Annelie (vocalist), and Marthe Koning (physical performer) collectively form the King Sisters. Using their singing voices as a starting point, they create artistic, unconventional, musical performances in which they continuously challenge each other from their own disciplines. With their clear vocal language, they move and unsettle you. This trio makes you feel that the personal, such as your voice or your family, is directly connected to the world in which we live.
