After the success of Fuck Me (SPRING 2022), Marina Otero returns to Utrecht with Kill Me. In this new work, Otero, together with her dancers and Nijinsky, once again explores human vulnerability and emotion. Through their bodies and voices, they create a layered world in which they embrace both their own madness and the chaos of reality. Kill Me is part of Otero’s lifelong project Remember to Live, which will continue to evolve until the day of her death. Following her previous works, Kill Me delves into the madness of love and the complexities of mental health.
Kill Me (2024) continues Love Me (2022) and Fuck Me (2020), forming part of the ongoing project Remember to Live, in which Marina Otero aims to create different versions of performances throughout her lifetime. It all began with the cliché of a midlife crisis: Otero started filming everything she did, her heart wide open, recording every moment, 24/7.
“Until one day I collapsed, got a psychiatric diagnosis and decided to make it my next work. I summoned four dancers with mental disorders and Nijinsky to create a spectacle about the madness for love. But we are going to say that the topic is mental health to enter within the inclusive agenda of the art market. Because that is my curse, having to create shows that sell and thus stay alive in the world (of theater).”

Overal Iemand Altijd
Wouter van Veldhoven & Guiot Duermeijer
An piercing performance with words and soundscapes, experienced with headphones at Utrecht Central Station. The work explores the inner struggle of a young neurodiverse woman and the invisible norms of our society. How do you stay true to yourself and hold your ground in this whirlwind of social codes?
Modesta (play of language & lips)
Anna Franziska Jäger & Nathan Ooms / CAMPO
A playful and poetic performance about growing up and finding your place in the world. Inspired by the book The Art of Joy by Goliarda Sapienza, five performers follow Modesta, a woman who bends the rules to her will. Through language, movement, and imagination, the question arises: how free can we truly be?
