DARKMATTER transforms the stage to reconsider the visibility of Black bodies

THE STORY, IN BRIEF

Writing in C& América Latina, Inés Sybille examined how Cherish Menzo and Camilo Mejía use movement, sound and changing stage materials in DARKMATTER. Reflecting on a Barcelona performance she saw in April, the critic connected its slowed gestures and shifting bodily forms with Black diasporic ways of imagining other possibilities. Her October essay treats the performers’ transformation of the stage as integral to the work’s exploration of visibility.
