Together with four dancers with mental illnesses and an actor who embodies the legendary ballet dancer Vaslav Nijinsky, Marina Otero once again fills the theatre with ecstatic energy with her radical yet humorous stage language. Between pop-cultural tropes, plastic pistols and boxing gloves, the choreographer creates a work about the madness of love. At the beginning of a midlife crisis, Otero begins filming herself and her life around the clock, making it publicly accessible. When she collapses one day as a result of this process, she is diagnosed with a mental illness. This deeply personal experience and Nijinsky's biography, which is characterised by severe schizophrenia, constitute the starting point for Otero's new semi-fictional stage work “KILL ME”.

Marina Otero's sensual performances are part of her project “Recordar para vivir” (Remembering to live), an ongoing series of works in which she is the subject of her own research – a process that will continue until the day she dies. The previous works “LOVE ME” and “FUCK ME” were both shown as part of the festival “¡PROTAGONISTAS! Resistance Feminisms Revolution” (June 2023) at HAU.
