Can we give in to our desire to give and receive love? How can we allow ourselves to feel compassion and connection? How can we forgive our enemies - the enemy outside, as well as those inside ourselves? In Primisi, Surinamese for "permission," artistic director, playwright and choreographer Alida Dors asks seven performers, each with their own female energy, to explore.After exploring the themes of "fighting and resilience" in Or Die Trying and R.I.O.T., Dors is now steering her Dance Chronicles in a new direction: 'love'. In this new choreography at Theater Rotterdam, we see the brilliance of love, but also its darker sides. Dors dissects love in an intimate way and lets the sweet water flow. In Primisi we experience love as a ritual washing.
Alida Dors: "Primisi is a celebratory release in which we release ourselves from our fears and shed our gender roles. We explore the possibilities of feminine energy. For me personally, the meaning of Primisi lies in listening to my ancestors and inner strength, to enter into an authentic relationship with the other through raw, rhythmic movement."
In Primisi, Dors interweaves a rich palette of dance forms such as Hiphop, Vogue and Krump with contemporary dance. Set to live music by four musicians, we see how the relationships between the performers take shape, as well as everyone's relationship with their own femininity. A landscape of ropes gives the story of interconnections and commitments an earthly foundation.
As Dors says in her State of the Theatre and her State of Dance, "we must be unashamedly hopeful and assiduously searching for our individual and our collective heartbeat". Primisi invites everyone to do just that. Get ready for a celebration, an exorcism, exposure, enchantment, commitment, a caring and enlightening ritual: bring your own soul!
Pre-talk Primisi
Theater Rotterdam is welcoming Alida Dors’ Primisi back home with a special gathering. After its successful nation-wide tour, we take another look at the deep layers and further relevance of Dors’ piece.
Dance scholar Dr. Imani Kai Johnson (USA) and DJ-scholar Lynnée Denise (UK-USA) will discuss the role of Hip Hop dance, Africanist aesthetics, bell hooks and Black feminism in Primisi.
The discussion will take place on the 11th of January, at 18.45 pm and is moderated by dramaturg Eylül Fidan Akıncı, followed by questions from the audience. Come and join the conversation!
