A choreographed concert combining singing, slam poetry and hip-hop dance. THEBADWEEDS presents a trans-species band, half-human, half-plant, whose members, strange hybrids, humorously demonstrate the resilience of weeds.
They grow from oblivion, from cracks, from the most inhospitable, wild and anarchic places, co-existing with us, among us, and bringing a message: the future will be green!
In this creation, Rocio Berenguer immerses us in the festive and rhythmic atmosphere of a concert. The dance steps are borrowed from pop culture choreographies and music videos, whose codes are subverted by a focus on the states of plant bodies, neglected and unproductive. The musical creation oscillates between danceable grooves, Afrobeat tunes, electro and moments of mystical softness.
Taking weeds as its inspiration, this ecological tale joyfully explores the forms of resistance and coexistence that we have yet to invent. Faced with the communicative energy of these changing beings, we reconnect with desire and wonder at the multiplicity of life forms. In response to the paralysing imaginations of fear and guilt, Rocio Berenguer invites us to ‘have fun together by bringing a new, non-anthropocentric world to life’.
Vegetable aperitif offered.
