Caminhos das Águas – Unstoppable Flow

In Caminhos das Águas – Unstoppable Flow, the dancer and choreographer, Fernanda Costa, seeks new self-determined images for Black women White binary thinking divides the world into opposites, with inherent opposing values. The dominant order is corrective and derogatory, until self-images are worthless. Together with three Black dancers, the choreographer works on liquefying categories, movements, reflections. And on a changed relationship between inside and outside. After all, we are water, predominantly at least. Perhaps the body is a state of aggregation like ice and steam and like them a threat to static structures.


Caminhos das Águas – Unstoppable Flow is part of the dance series Wie ich werde, wie ich sein will (How I become, who I want to be) at the Ballhaus Naunynstraße, where three Black choreographers inquire about the important inspirations, solidarities, and connections for the strengthening of self-determined Black femininities*.


It is Fernanda Costa’s choreographic debut at the Ballhaus Naunynstraße.
