Four Non Blondes

Blonde hair originated as a genetic mutation in Northern Europe approximately 11,000 years ago. Only two percent of people are naturally blond. A rare phenomenon, then—and for some, a desirable attribute: blond hair is associated with youth, attractiveness, and purity, while simultaneously symbolizing whiteness, social advancement, rebellion, and self-determination. Over the centuries, the meanings associated with blond hair have shifted depending on the time and society.


“Four Non Blondes” is a choreographic concert in which four non-blonde performers and a singer combine their personal experiences, elements of digital theatre and political narratives to re-examine the myth of blondeness.
