„I always wanted to find a family I fitted into. Perhaps it is necessary to create one myself.“
We grew up with parents or caregivers who belonged to other generations. Their worlds were different, as were their patterns of relating. We develop other ways of perceiving our needs, sharing them and acting on them. As Black and queer people with caring responsibilities for children, we are building something that did not exist before.
Three performers move within a space created specifically for the production, taking visitors into their world. The starting point is interviews that Magda Korsinsky conducted with Black and queer people about questions of inherited gender roles and personal childhood experiences, economic pressures and structural injustice, love and anger, shared responsibility, and healing relationship models. The performers weave lived experience together with movement, rap and song until a shared space emerges: one of diverse responsibility, intimacy, care, love and resistant forms of living together.
In Arrival of the Village, documentary choreographer Magda Korsinsky and her team set out in search of transformed relationships — because the old model of the heteronormative nuclear family produces roles that often isolate, exhaust or create dependency. Recognition, desire, self-determination and equality fall by the wayside. And how can one be a role model when so much feels wrong? How can we expand our notions of family and live out collective care, shared responsibility and mutual empowerment?
Arrival of the Village is Magda Korsinsky’s fifth work at Ballhaus Naunynstraße, continuing her search for role models, spaces and narratives for Black FLINTA*.
The work is a further step towards an art that creates spaces of resonance and sets its own rhythm against the harshness of dominant discourses.
