Freedom Movement – through Baba Karam and other dance
conditions, a dance
performance about everyone’s right to to be free.
The art
collective Ful reminds us that until all are free, no one is free, and that the
right to freedom is always worth fighting for!
From forbidden movements across
the streets of Tehran to drag clubs in Sweden, we trace the role of dance in
both large and small freedom struggles. Baba Karam and Bollywood dancing share
the stage with protest dances from different parts of the planet to highlight
the fight for freedom. The performance emphasizes the potential of togetherness and the transformative
power of a single person’s action.
Four
artists, West Asian club music composed exclusively for Freedom Movement and
lipsync remind us that queers always lead the dance of freedom!
Queer pre-party
with drag and DIY crafting
Before each
performance, we invite you to a workshop – a queer hangout open to everyone who
is curious about drag and wants to try it out. There will also be opportunities
for crafting and inspirational talks. To really get us in the right mood for
the performance, the artists will come by and say hello! Join us in creating a safe space where movement is free!
