About the event
Boom! Bang! Wham! Prepare to be swept away in a whirlwind of soaring monologues, shimmering costumes, and theatrical gestures. In CATCH (Coalition Against Type Casting Horror), Aminata Demba and Aïcha Cissé enter the ring for the fight of their lives. In this space that is theirs for a few moments, they attempt to free themselves, as Black actresses and women, from the multiple constraints imposed on them.
In a production by Frédérique Lecomte, with whom they previously worked on Dis-moi wie ik ben, the show with which they achieved their breakthrough, they now tackle characters and scenes from the history of theater and popular culture. With a light touch, they turn themes such as repertoire, representation, and role models on their head.
Demba and Cissé are showing off and joining forces to break away from the dominant mechanisms and ways of thinking, both within and outside of the performing arts.
