Some Thing Folk choreographed by Ligia Lewis is being performed in Essen at PACT Zollverein on March 27-28.
Some Thing Folk is a Hieronymus Bosch painting in performing arts. It is:
A future written in the past
A story hard to tell,
something folk for now
In a distant past, in a blue landscape, a story is being written. An imagination of a folk and people who are eager to belong.
Inspired by for example black feminist theorist Zakkiyyah Iman Jackson and cultural anthropologist Elizabeth Povinelli, choreographer Ligia Lewis will explore complex modes of embodiment in ways that confront a racial history tethered to the skin, while simultaneously disrupting any linear or reductive explanation of this experience.
