YO BRO, 2022
A choreographically deconstruction of the powerful normative representations off family in order to make alternative forms of togetherness and belonging visible. Using the performative potential of their bodies, they create images of similarity Societal ideas of family are often established by (pop-)cultural representations. Although it seems obvious that kinship and close, intimate, kinship-like relation-ships can work independent of physiognomic Similarities, non-white as well as queer people are constantly denied this kind of connection.
The HAU co-production “YO BRO” questions standard, normative representations of family by playfully revisiting them and distorting them.
