History in the Marking is a new live theatre piece by Keren Cytter, created in collaboration with the artist’s dance company D.I.E. Now (Dance International Europe)

John Webber, a political activist, and Linda Schultz, a graphic designer, awake one morning to discover they have each been subject to an unexpected and radical sex change. The repercussions of this event have a domino effect on society, sexual politics, and personal identity, ultimately leading to revolution, as Cytter playfully tells the story via film, language, imagery, choreography, performance and light projections. History in the Making, takes inspiration from a diverse range of influences, including Pina Bausch, Bat – Sheva dance group, Samuel Beckett, Disney on Ice, Michael Jackson, Yvonne Rainer and the exotic rhythms of the 1980’s dance- floor filler the Lambada, creating a highly stylized theatrical performance, addressing the ideas with insight and humour
