In early 20th century Europe, artists La Sarabia, Nyota Inyoka, Fran\u00e7ois (F\u00e9ral) Benga and Leila Bederkhan presented their dances in Europe with great success. However, as these dances were not recognised as part of the Western dance canon, they fell into oblivion.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In <\/span>Ex\u00f3tica - On the brown history of European dance<\/em> - Amanda Pi\u00f1a breathes new life into these works. Here she searches the legacy of racialised dancers who have performed on European theatre stages, in what she calls \"the brown history of European dance\".\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ex\u00f3tica<\/em> is an exuberant ritual where the dances come to life as in a seance where our ancestors, queers and <\/span>women of colour <\/em>is part of the present and the past. With dance and speech in a grand scenography, a dialogue is staged with the audience's own gaze and history in focus. With the<\/span> Ex\u00f3tica<\/span><\/i> Amanda Pi\u00f1a initiates a spell, an exorcism and a celebration all at once.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

La Sarabia, (1878-1988), Nyota Inyoka, (1896-1971), Fran\u00e7ois \"F\u00e9ral\" Benga (1906-1957) Leila Bederkhan (1903-1986) travelled through Europe presenting their dances, moving between exotification and the white gaze. What kind of work did these racialised dancers and choreographers do at the time, how was it perceived by contemporaries - and how can we understand it today? <\/span>Ex\u00f3tica <\/span><\/i>is an evening of togetherness and longing for dance.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u00a0\"With this research, I would like to get to know my direct ancestors: fellow female and queer artists, dancers, and choreographers of colour who lived and worked in Europe at the beginning of the 20th century. This work aims to revive them. It is a spiritual search for what consequences the white norm has, conceiving it as an internalised, self-invisible ideology, an unmarked and unnamed position.\"<\/h3>\n
