Mourner’s bench
This spiritual, muscular struggle between a dancer and a bench is inspired by the world of novelist Howard Fast and alludes to the tragic influence of the Ku Klux Klan on a rural, multi-racial community in the southern United States, after the civil war.
This spiritual, muscular struggle between a dancer and a bench is inspired by the world of novelist Howard Fast and alludes to the tragic influence of the Ku Klux Klan on a rural, multi-racial community in the southern United States, after the civil war. The performer asserts himself through a language of movement, highly stylised on the themes of oppression and transcendence. “Sitting on the mourner’s bench”, he recounts the decline, horror and oppression suffered by the black community.
