oh!rage

duration: 45 minutes

Première: Camping CN D, 2018

oh!rage works on making minority bodies visible, and on remodeling their imaginaries. Based on a research into “peripheral” dances, in other words those that have been developed on the margins of institutional frameworks, his first solo focuses on the representation of black bodies, grasped at the crossroads between several emancipation discourses. He brings in the movements of Afropunk and Afrofuturism, post-colonial research, especially covering Brazil, black studies and contemporary art. This critical intention is embodied on stage through a technical strategy which is itself subversive: Calixto Neto remains for a good part of the show with his back to the audience, a position that makes him vulnerable, while expressing a form of resistance. His body, as a production space for multiple subjectivities, is thus reinvented between lamentation and revolt, protestation and celebration. Through the narratives of this distinctly plural body, Calixto Neto raises once again a question which has been freely inspired by his reading of Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak: can the subalterns finally dance?
