Mercedes Dassy {Brussels}
CREATION
COPRODUCTION
In her previous work, i-clit, Mercedes Dassy explored a new trend of hyper-connected, ultra-sexualised feminism in order to question the ambivalent power of emancipation and oppression. The dancer inserts her new production into the continuity of her journey, taking inspiration from real, symbolic or fictional representatives to probe our (in)ability to act and engage ourselves. The solo highlights a contemporary confusion that seems to result from three factors: disillusionment with revolutions; the indomitable feeling of revolt and indignation, which searches for innovative ways to make an impact;
and the breakdown of the future, since it seems that the world ending is more likely than capitalism ending. Her work hinges on a triangulation between choreography, politics and aesthetics. A celebration of the body and spirit, which liberate themselves from imposed models!
