CITIZEN

CITIZEN by Reggie Wilson/Fist & Heel Performance Group Paula Court

Choreographer Reggie Wilson’s deeply expressive postmodern work draws from the languages of the African diaspora, weaving elements of blues, slave, and spiritual cultures into contemporary and pedestrian movement vocabularies. Returning to BAM with Fist & Heel Performance Group, Wilson presents a brand new work inspired by African-American figures throughout history who were conflicted and chose not to leave their home country in spite of pervasive racism. Five dancers engage with video projections in a series of provocative solos that overlap and intersect, asking: What does it mean to belong, and to not want to belong?
