About ONE DROP<\/i><\/h2>\n

ONE DROP<\/i>, a new performance by Sonya Lindfors<\/b> & working group, is a speculative summoning, a decolonial dream, an autopsy of the Western stage and an operetta. Defying definition and belonging to multiple categories, the work dives into the poetics and politics of relations, creating a performance that reignites connections lost or forgotten.<\/p>\n

The work\u2019s title refers to two frameworks: the \u201cone drop\u201d rhythm, a reggae-style drum beat, and the \u201cone drop rule\u201d of the Race Separation Act in the United States from the early 1900s. According to this rule, a single drop of \u201cBlack blood\u201d made a person \u201cBlack\u201d despite their appearance. Through these starting points, the work interrogates the ghosts of the Western stage and its entanglements with capitalism, coloniality, and modernity.<\/p>\n

\u2018One Drop\u2019 continues Sonya Lindfors\u2019 series of works dealing with power, representation, and Black body politics. This is the second time Lindfors presents at Beursschouwburg, following \u2018Cosmic Latte\u2019 in 2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n
