The evocative world of Chunking starts where theatre and dance confront the performance element of plastic art. A world where fabulous creatures live, where images and impressions repeatedly shoot past your retina. Images of animal creatures, almost amorphous, of circus artistes, of mad little fellows and odd figures, of sensual, lusty beings who stimulate your desire, of other dimensions where you are immersed in colour and form. A world in which sensuality, the bizarre and the frivolous meet, in which stories appear, but where the story is just one facet of a miraculous universe. A surrealistic world because it plays with the imagination, the spontaneous and the absurd.

Chunking includes a 20-minute choreography set to "Kill Your Idols", Sonic Youth's 1983 Five Song Album.

"... living-room ornament versus the primal, sometimes instinctive part of man – man without the varnish, as it were... the Sonic Youth world of Mike Kelly, Paul McCarthy and Raymond Pettibon that moves and stamps on the spot like a procession floundering walking from the deepest dream the dream of deconstruction, of disruption and eternal shifting the steaming beat of the disorderly and the disordered straight from the belly to the spectator’s throat a performance that’s really there but moves somewhere else..."
(Luk Lambrecht)

"Without exact borders, the song rose up, staked a claim on your attention, fears or desires and then turned into air." (Greil Marcus about Kill Yr. Idols, Sonic Youth)
