Body as oracle, a trance, a rhythmic interface, an atmosphere, a landscape with the texture of a mental state. A dance informed by everything and everyone ever encountered, seen, heard, felt, been beside that has become part of an individual trying to identify their own voice. A choreography that prioritises density over going anywhere, noise over silence, now over yesterday and pleasure over doing it right. A meditation on osmosis and internalisation, the responsibilities of blackness and queerness, the pressure to ‘take space’, the feeling of being possessed by other people’s fantasies and the fear that one’s owns might just be too rude. In partnership with Studio 303 and MAI, Montréal arts interculturels, as part of Queer Performance Camp.
