Showing by Yvonne Sembene in the frame of Tanznacht Forum EXPANDED
© Promo
During her residency, Yvonne Sembene combines dance, voice and operatic tools to critically examine the waltz, debutante balls and their socially entrenched notions of class, gender and power.
At the centre is the question: How can hyperfemininity be represented, subverted or reclaimed within these historically rigid frameworks? Yvonne Sembene's interest is to explore how the waltz has been used to reinforce gender roles and class boundaries. Can new spaces for resistance be opened up in its fluidity?
Other central motifs of her artistic research are neoclassical and neotraditional aesthetics, which are often appropriated by right-wing nationalist ideologies. How can these be reinterpreted to convey alternative socio-political narratives? By playing with form, voice and hyper-performative elements, Sembene aims to rework these symbols of social order and reshape their impact on identity and belonging.
Sembene's overarching assumption is that the medium of dance harbours the means to deal with the political aspects of tradition. It remains to be seen what these might be.
