Shiny Riot explores resistance and battle as a collective ritual.
Audience and performers enter together into a transitional zone where anonymizing, carnival-like decorated hoods establish a shared bodily code.
The masking dissolves individual identities and gives rise to a temporary collective body – an organism in constant renegotiation.

The group continuously forms and reforms, where both following and resistance arise in parallel.
The performance is led by a thirteen-year-old girl whose presence unsettles established hierarchies and introduces an alternative
distribution of authority and direction.

Shiny Riot activates the aesthetics of protest as a temporary, unstable social space – a site
where collective action is tested rather than fixed. Between instruction and improvisation, a choreography of movement, obedience,
and revolt unfolds.
