The Kenyan-German artist duo develops participatory performances about intertwined identities that aim to look \u201cbeyond differences.\u201d<\/p>\n

For the thematic days, the internationally working artists Mwangi Hutter are creating the participatory performance Oneness<\/em>, in which nine familial duos will take part. We are looking for pairs of all genders, ages, and relationship forms\u2014partners, parents and adult children, siblings, or friends who consider themselves a chosen family. At the heart of our search are duos who bridge cultural, ethnic or biographical differences and draw their unique strength from them.<\/p>\n

The performance engages with questions of visibility, belonging, and familial relationships. At its center is a throne built by the artists from reclaimed wood, serving as a shared space where participants develop and present gestures of self-determination, care, and mutual recognition.<\/p>\n

At the beginning, all participants wear full-body costumes that anonymize face and body. During the performance, these costumes are cut open by the participants themselves\u2014a moment of mutual visibility and self-definition. At the end, each duo presents a jointly developed gesture expressing their relationship, their connection, and how they wish to be seen.<\/p>\n
