Losing Face

Losing face takes a deep dive into the convoluted interweavings of the colonial mindset. Compliance is but a small price to pay for an illusion of a quiet existence, but when does existence become submission? Four non-white performers from a variety of movement backgrounds negotiate their place in a predominantly white country - a supposed harmony. Yet, the living portrayal of harmony invites more dissonance making the lullaby of indifference an enchanting tune. Are the performers able to unlearn and untangle oneself from being made to feel less? The more one tries to save face one loses it even more. losing face dances through contradictions of colored truths, negotiating the rhythms of an undeniable urgency. 24.-26.03.21 Brut Nordwest / Vienna
