HP24 - CRUCE

Marcos Arriola

Dates

Wednesday 27 November 2024 19:00
Thursday 28 November 2024 20:00
For centuries, monstrousness has served as a means to imagine otherness, and in so doing has provided little places of refuge from which to put normality into crisis. Paul B. Preciado, 2020

WARNING: nude scene and loud music.
Earplugs are available from the ticket office.

CRUCE (meaning “Crossing”) is the physical tale of a transformation – in the sense of a transition, a migration, a passage – in search of liberated bodies.

In this piece, Marcos Arriola celebrates the dancefloor as a space of protest and resistance. CRUCE allows the bodies of 5 dancers to liberate themselves, freed from the weight of the racial and sexual symbolisms of our societies. It prompts us to question identity. The body is political, a strategic location from which to revolutionise the norms of sexuality, gender and race.

CRUCE is a joyful and exuberant call for a performative act of radical change.

27.11 DJ set Sylvère
Raised in Paris with Caribbean roots, Sylvere signed to Monkeytown, Modeselektor's Berlin label, in 2021. He released 3 EPs with thumping basslines that effortlessly combine techno, rave and music from Caribbean sound systems.
His dj sets borrow from both techno and Afro-Caribbean culture, and have already set fire to a number of big-name clubs and festivals, including Dour, Primavera, Solidays, Astropolis and Electropicales. 
He's also resident DJ at the sultry La Creole nights, where he expresses his Martinican roots with fiery Bouyon / Shatta / Kuduro sets, has a monthly show on Rinse France radio, and is half of the new Techno duo SUBMECHANOPHOB1A formed in 2024 with artist Teki Latex.
