“When broken glass glitters” w/ Iris Omari Ansong
Sewing together their practices of dance, sound, costume and performance, the duo amplifies the in-between, the hidden and the unseen. Between surfaces and the darkest bottoms of the oceans, they are searching for translations of afro diasporic memories. Immersing in new images in layers of hope and grief, pleasure and pain, the feeling of submerging in the Black Atlantic sets in – an invisible, yet ever-present web of legacies and routes tied to the African diaspora. Seeking a channel to respond to dystopian and genocidal times they dive into contradictions of existing, glitching open portals.
