“PERSPECTIVES” is an artistic exploration of individual and collective experiences of racism in the form of microaggressions and brings the inner dialogues of people of colour living in Switzerland and Europe to the stage. These different perspectives are expressed relentlessly and powerfully through an interdisciplinary approach of Hip Hop and contemporary dance, spoken word, original sounds and beats, creating space for confrontation, debate and vulnerability.
About the piece: Racism is a complex construct and all those affected experience it differently. PERSPECTIVES brings these different experiences, thoughts and perspectives to the stage and visualizes them through movement. The beginning sets the tone for the performance. The audience has no choice but to become part of the piece, to reflect and empathize with it. It becomes an immersive experience, thereby creating a temporary intimacy between the audience and the performers. The choreographer Anna Chiedza Spörri shows the dancers not only in their pain, but also in their solidarity. PERSPECTIVES is clear in its message of what microaggressions trigger in those affected and does not shy away from illustrating strong negative emotions on stage. But the performance also shows the community that BIPoC can find with each other.
