STUCK

Mounia Nassangar

This year, the international dance festival for young audiences PURPLE will kick off with waacking icon Mounia Nassangar's first choreographic work “STUCK”. Together with five dancers, Nassangar transforms the movement language of waacking – characterised by distinctive, rotational arm movements, posing and emphasis on expressiveness – into a personal and idiosyncratic contemporary stage performance. The expressive dance style, which emerged the LGBTIQ* disco scene in Los Angeles in the 1970s at a time of widespread stigmatisation of queer people, becomes a means of overcoming physical and mental barriers. In “STUCK”, it becomes a means of overcoming physical and mental barriers and an instrument for liberation and self-determination. Each dancer approaches the waacking in an individual way; despite their different backgrounds, they share the common experience of defying oppression through dance.
