Fake Diamonds
In the sparkling glow of fake diamonds, René and her team are now choreographing the old dances anew. With a queerfeminist dance performance, they question sexiste and racist structures in competitive dance, the heteronormative ideal of the romantic couple and binary ideas of winning and losing.
René*e Reith (all pronouns) works as a choreographer, performance artist and dance scholar.
