Details about the performances:

I came here to talk:
I came here to talk is a call to action from a white man wondering about the political and intimate meanings of his gender and race. He plays with frames and styles, summoning historical and cultural studies, but also voguing and R&B, all of which have been formative influences on the construction of his identity. Seeking to deconstruct the colonial paradigm, he displaces the norms and representations that constrain our bodies to cultivate a transcultural corporeal model. The stage becomes a forum, open to the audience, who is invited to share and occupy the space with the dancer. During the performance, perspectives are shifted to encourage the emergence of an ephemeral community of resistance and flamboyance.

Anxiety:
We are constantly bombarded with images of radical acts and news of terrorism. Even if we can’t always grasp what we see in the media, anxiety is all around us. Is what we see real or manipulated? Three dancers and a singer will lead us into a world floating on the border between dreams and reality, where gestures and voices tell a story in search of the answers we’ve all been looking for.
