101 — Belgium — 30'
THE PERFORMANCE “101″ is an active and current personal exploration in the queer contemporary dance art. It is a creative initiative that contributes to the genderfluid and genderfuck social and political movement by utilizing the knowledge and conflicting experiences acquired throughout Coppi’s life explorations. This piece is a dynamic and transformative work that blends elements such as experimental performance, contemporary dance, hyperPop/experimental/electro music, and vocal research. The primary goal of this performance is to delve into the spectrum of the gender binary and challenge its cold hierarchical representations. The performer will engage in a compelling dialogue, sharing their intimate stories of triumphs, challenges, and the relentless pursuit of authenticity in a world that insists on conformity. Exploring the conflicts living as a fluid, genderfuck and trans-fem person, in a binary world. It aims to do this by reimagining pain as a means of healing and by exploring alternative approaches to address the limitations and control imposed by this binary system.Through this powerful exchange, they aim to provoke introspection, challenge preconceptions, and inspire a collective conversation about the urgent need for a more inclusive and accepting society. Ultimately, “101” seeks to provoke introspection, reactions, and stimulate potential solutions within the contemporary dance field. A lack of diversity is still fraught in its representation due to its adherence to traditional binary gender perspectives and experiences.
