Emilie Gregersen

TRIXSTER is a choreographic work by Emilie Gregersen, exploring the realms of speculative fiction and the abstraction of emotions and actions through movement and voice. The solo weaves a vibrant carpet of expression, aiming to challenge binary perceptions of what is seen and felt by twisting and distorting images and sensorial experiences. Drawing inspiration from the trickster —a character known for breaking norms and shape-shifting — the piece playfully works with the disruption, infused with a touch of humor, tricks, and drama. The boundaries between the personal and the fictional, the intimate and the artificial, seamlessly merge, creating a space filled with tension and suspense. Within this tension, Emilie brings to life stories of loss, transformation, and love, with the intention of immersing both herself and the audience in an unfolding emotional landscape.

TRIXSTER is a long-term project initiated by Emilie Gregersen and developed during [LINK] mentorship with choreographic mentor Jefta van Dinther at DIORAMA in Berlin during November 2022 and September 2023. In 2025 the piece transformed into High Tide, a new solo work by Emilie Gregersen.
