'‘IT’S GOT LEGS!!!!!!’ asks the question “what other forms emerge when you treat broadway, cabaret, musical theatre and jazz forms with postmodern choreographic treatments”?


What emerges when we summon queer historical forms, icons and divas and force them into prisons of poe faced minimalism?Can the high camp and the minimal share a stage?


The performance operates within a complex space on non-arrival. It is the trials of the journey that we bare witness to, whilst teasing and edging towards the ungraspable we can unearth the only really concrete thing there is in this business, instability.References abound to familiar double acts alongside double entendres as they unearth the only real concrete thing there is in this business: instability.


An infinite, infernal foreplay of a ‘cabaret’, IT’S GOT LEGS!!!!!! exposes the precarity of constructing performance and of constructing the self. Using the basic tools of theatre and DIY performance – microphones, speakers, lights and set – the duo question if the way we produce our identities is all that different to how we put on a show.


Embracing the ugliness and chaotic beauty of becoming and unbecoming, IT’S GOT LEGS!!!!!! traces the intricate dances of subjugation, subversion and seduction we’re all forced into as performers, artists and humans, just trying to get on with it.

Samir Kennedy is an independent artist based between London and Marseille, working at the intersection of choreography, performance, sound, and video. He first discovered performance during a primary school choir concert, when a voice that didn’t seem to be his own came out of his mouth. He quickly turned toward musical theatre, then contemporary dance, a field in which he completed his studies at Laban in the United Kingdom in 2013, and earned a diploma from the National Choreographic Centre of Montpellier in 2023. Since then, he has developed an interdisciplinary and diversified practice, working internationally in various contexts and roles—as a performer, choreographer, director, sound designer, and dramaturg, in prestigious theatres as well as underground, experimental spaces, clubs, and galleries. His work critically engages with themes such as class, race, otherness, queerness, and abjection, considering the body as a site for exploring and subverting archetypal figures— the devil, the zombie, and the clown. He interrogates collective consciousness and cultural symbolism, using these figures as frameworks for examining intersectional identities.
