Tiran Willemse
Untitled (Nostalgia, Act 3)

In "Untitled (Nostalgia, Act 3)", South African-born, European-based choreographer Tiran Willemse evokes his own diverse dance histories through a kaleidoscope of 20th century ballet classics Giselle, Kuduro from Angola and the Nigerian genre Alanta. Tiran Willemse is a dancer and choreographer from South Africa, living in Zurich and Berlin. His investigative practice in the performing arts is rooted in close attention to space, imagination, gesture and sound, focusing on how they relate to the ways in which the construction of race and gender is performed, communicated and challenged. He has previously worked and collaborated with Trajal Harrell, Meg Stuart, Jerome Bel, Ligia Lewis, Eszter Salamon, Susanne Linke, Andros Zins-Browne and with Cullberg under the direction of Deborah Hay and Jefta Van Dither. His work has been shown at Arsenic Lausanne, Impulstanz Wien, Tanzquartier Wien, Gessnerallee Zürich, Sophiensaele Berlin, Palais de Tokyo Paris, Santarcanagelo Festival and MCBA in Lausanne, and continues to tour internationally.
The performance is organised by Dansens Hus in collaboration with MDT and My Wild Flag.

Marga Alfeirão
LOUNGE
Portuguese Marga Alfeirão (b. 1994) uses artistic media to create safe spaces for the exploration of sensuality and sexuality through dance and performance. She is influenced by dance genres and sound textures from the African diaspora, which came to her through the social context of Lisbon. Alfeirão has worked with choreographers such as Tamara Alegre, Antonja Livingstone, architect Afaina de Jong, and others. She is active in the Portuguese Ballroom scene as co-founder of Casa das Musas. The performance is organised by Dansens Hus in collaboration with MDT and My Wild Flag.

Vaginal Davis
During the summer and autumn of 2024, a whole series of different works by the award-winning artist, acclaimed writer and international blacktress Vaginal Davis will be shown around Stockholm. As part of the My Wild Flag festival, two films featuring Davis will be shown at MDT. Join Davis for a live-commented screening of Bob Fosse's All That Jazz and Miloš Formans Hair. The tours are organised by MDT and Moderna Museet, in collaboration with My Wild Flag.
