All That Remains
Mirko Guido (Denmark/Italy)
- Thu Jan 23 7:30PM
- Fri Jan 24 7:30PM
This choreographic work unfolds across a desolate terrain, scattered with assemblages of industrial debris and organic matter, where the stage becomes a space of hybridization, a threshold between inner landscapes and external realities. Suspended in this liminal space, the performers engage with their sculptural surroundings in fleeting moments of playfulness, resignation, ecstasy and abandonment, forming a corporeal topography that collapses the boundary between dancer and environment.
Vocal vibrations emerge as visceral responses that resist containment, reverberating outward into a living soundscape where wounds resonate between the physical and emotional planes. Just like cells synchronizing to regenerate damaged tissue, dancers reweave connections and entanglements between themselves and the world around them in a transformation from rupture to repair. This richly textured work at the crossroads of dance, installation and sound performance, asks how we, as a species that has fallen out of sync with our natural environment, can open up new potentialities of relation and becoming.

Artist Bio
Mirko Guido
Mirko Guido (b. Italy) is a choreographer based in Aarhus, Denmark, and currently an in-house artist at Bora Bora – Dance and Visual Theatre. He holds a Master’s degree in New Performative Practices from DOCH/Stockholm University of the Arts, which deepened his exploration of contemporary choreography and interdisciplinary performance. A former dancer with the Cullberg Ballet, Mirko’s work spans theatres, art galleries, museums, and public spaces. His choreographic projects integrate an advanced physical practice with carefully curated visual, material, and spatial elements, all framed by intellectual rigor. Each piece serves as a philosophical exploration, negotiating the boundaries between body and space, identity and existence, and the intimate and the social. Mirko’s work has been presented at venues across Europe, with support from renowned artistic centers such as Summer Studios Rosas, Work Space Brussels, Uferstudios Berlin, and PACT Zollverein.
