TROPIQUE DU KEPONE

Tropique du képone is a dance piece inspired by afrofuturism. In this work, we focus on the urgent need to act and to disregard governmental policies in order to address the worrisome situation of the French West Indies islands, Martinique and Guadeloupe. It is about building a victorious future for ourselves, which will bring trust and healing to our past and present struggles through the art of escaping.

​

Tropique du Képone is oriented towards a construction based on radio archives, written press, television programs and scientific research articles. A plastic dimension in the form of an installation is integrated into the research in which the two performers‘ bodies interact and create a connected and evolving space. 

Nourished by a tonic and rebellious imagination, the two artists wish to evolve in a space of reciprocity, melting, resistance, reconstruction thus re-creating a decadent and forgotten topicality in the center of an unusual artistic device.
