Colonialism: The Weight of Sound
A duet about power, violence, and silence — told through sound and movement.
Choreography · Duet — Mannheim — 2024 — Trailer
One figure amplifies the sounds of consumption — eating, dragging, breathing — while the other receives what remains: noises, objects, pressure.
The piece reflects colonial structures through metaphor. Who is heard. Who is silenced. Who controls the narrative. The performers’ interaction reveals the tension between voice and voicelessness, dominance and survival — an echo of the historical and contemporary weight of colonial reality.
