D̶A̶R̶K̶MATTER

With her powerful dance language, Cherish Menzo creates a utopian free space that dissects, alienates and comments on entrenched stereotypes, driven by imagination and fantasy. Inspiration comes from post-humanism, which transcends the physical, and afro-futurism, which looks at science fiction, technology and fantasy from an African or black perspective and does not play a role in centuries of colonial and cultural dominance.

The ten-member choir, composed of local performers, accompanies Menzo and Cortés on stage and accompanies them with rap anthems. This ensures that a different group dynamic is created in each performance locale, with new relationships and stories that connect the local but also the universal.
