(in English)

Is there a space in which other relations of forces prevail? Another universe, multiverses, a simultaneous spinning with different direction and speed in the omniverse?

This world is rigid, it becomes more rigid. The increasing potency of right-wing, nationalist positions is hardening the binary, Christian and white dominated orders. The movement must begin, accelerate, spread warmth. It has already begun, without beginning or end. Into other multiverses.

Bishop Black seeks decolonization. Movement by movement, image by image, word by word, Bishop Black works against the old myth of „In the beginning was purity.“ With every sound layer and every muscle movement they seek to resist the pressure of the old polar axis powers of sexual identity and racial identity and to open the gravitational field to a third, open, unknown pole.

Becoming My Body is the way against colonization by sexuality concepts and fashion, by Eurocentric cosmology and epistemology. Becoming My Body is a performative, danced, synthetic stepping towards a space where other power relations prevail, Bishop Black’s invitation into their multiverses.

With Becoming My Body Bishop Black presents the first full-length solo performance – as a bundling of his own strategies in video, sound, dance, drag show and performance.
