Dancer and choreographer Tiran Willemse presents an intense and tension-filled solo performance.
From the precise choreography of drum majorettes in uniform, to the melodramatic movements of white femme starlets and gestures associated with masculine Black rap stars, Willemse examines limiting stereotypes and shifting identities.
Through a focus on hand gestures, blackmilk complicates a mainstream repertoire of legible identities, opening them up to a complex sensitivity that the artist describes as ‘black male melancholia’.
blackmilk is the first part of the Willemse’s trompoppies trilogy. ‘Trompoppies’ is Afrikaans and describes drum majorettes in uniform.
