#BlackLivesMatter
Black is a choreographic reckoning with the violence and struggle that characterize the lives of black people in today’s society. Through references to Black Lives Matter and the murder of George Floyd, Oulouy questions the position of the black body in the Western world.
The work explores how the black body is viewed, defined, and challenged—how it is filled with stereotypes, desires, and fear. A body that carries both history and the present, that is both oppressed and celebrated, and that evokes reactions simply by existing.
The story is conveyed without words, but with a clear language: dance. Through street dance styles from the African continent and its diaspora in the USA—such as Coupé-Décalé, Ndomboló, Afrohouse, and Krump—a visual manifesto is created that moves between trauma, pride, and political will.
Black is as much a protest as it is a tribute—a homage to the movement, to survival, and to the strength in refusing to conform.
