KINK is a solo about control: craving it, resisting it, losing it. It explores control on stage as both a driving force and a point of collapse.
The body twists, retreats and asserts itself in a constant tension between dominance and surrender. Movement and music take turns leading, shaping each other in a shifting dialogue. Being watched becomes both a threat and thrill, a response to the discomfort of exposure and the secret pleasure of wanting more.
In KINK, Nik Rajšek invites the audience into a teasing power dynamic where control is questioned, shared and continually redefined.
Nik Rajšek (1993) is a Slovenian performer and maker based in the Netherlands. After graduating from the Modern Theatre Dance program in Amsterdam, he worked with several choreographers, most notably Ann Van den Broek. He now develops his own work, exploring his own approach to the connection of movement and performance and camera-based practices. In 2025, he joined Station Noord’s development programme for emerging makers.
