Sinopse
In early 20th century Europe, artists La Sarabia, Nyota Inyoka, François Benga and Leila Bederkhan presented their dances with great success. Amanda Piña breathes new life into their works with Exotica, tracing back the heritage of racialized artists performing in European theatre stages and what she refers as “the brown history of European dance”. Exotica is an exuberant ritual conceived as a séance through which dancers as ancestors, queer and femmes of color from the past and the present re-appear on stage and come into conversation with the gaze and the ancestry of the audience. Their performative presence opens a space for reenactments, initiating invocations, exorcisms and celebration. — Amanda Piña
