Digging a Glittery Grave is a collaboration between Beck Heiberg and Charlie Laban Trier.
A 3-hour long open door immersive performance installation researching mourning and their own relationship with experiencing being locked inside a projected gaze of cuteness by actively diving into this aesthetic. With the help of filters they try to find a new empowered friendship with this performativity.
Beck and Charlie are in this work continuously re-building an installation of rituals through using, wearing and embodying objects connoted with aesthetics of cuteness. They propose a space where an audience gets to experience and participate in a work aiming to dismantle and rediscover affects of cuteness.
With this work, they are mourning what never was, or what didn’t get space to take place.
Beck Heiberg and Charlie Laban Trier have been working on this testament to their friendship since 2017, and will premiere it in spring 2022 at Warehouse9.
The performance installation is also transmitted online through the gaze of the performers and the audience on www.diggingaglitterygrave.com

“Jeg blev helt blød indeni og kunne flyde i en sanselig registrering af et følelsesspekter af nuancer mellem sorg og glæde.”
“Kan et sorgritual se anderledes ud? Heiberg og Laban Trier tør ryste posen og inviterer os til at tage del af deres udforskelse af sorgritualer.”
