Inspired by Mary Wigman’s Witch Dance, a "masterpiece of strangeness” as Judith Mackrell put it, Joy Alpuerto Ritter examines inherited dance vocabularies to embody her own witch character.
Bringing together her roots in Philippine folk and classical dance with movements from hip hop and voguing; she reimagines what it means to summon the power and mystical practices of a female dancer as a witch. BABAE, which means ‘woman’ in Tagalog (Philippine language), is a one-woman dialogue between the animalistic and sensual qualities of ritual and power.
Important: This show will be played through a virtual reality headset. The event will take place in The Place theatre.
