Hunted
For her third experience participating in the Aire de Jeu festival, Maud Le Pladec has chosen to respond to her invitation from Les Subsistances by extending her own invitation to the performer and choreographer Okwui Okpokwasili to co-write a project.
Hunted is an incantatory project, a chant in which American performer Okwui Okpokwasili wields words, lyrics, singing and bodies to the music of Kalevi Aho. The piece invokes witch figures such as Medea, the Macbeth witches, Mary Wigman, Valeska Gert, Tatsumi Hijikata or even stirrers such as Nanny and the members of the collective W.I.T.C.H. Hunted offers a hybrid of storytelling and “neo-paganistic” ritual. Okwui Okpokwasili embodies a vocabulary drawing her source in folklore and political language – a presence straddling reality and superstition uniting with the music of Kalevi Aho.
Hunted was inspired by the book, Witches: Hunted, Appropriated, Empowered, Queered by Anna Colin, which accompanied the project “Plus ou moins sorcières” (More or Less Witches), a cycle of exhibits, projections performances and conferences presented in 2012 at Maison Populaire in Montreuil.
