Say Yes! again and again is a performance exploring questions of identity and gender through a playful and optimistic lens. Inspired by Adrienne Maree Brown’s Pleasure Activism: The Politics of Feeling Good (AK Press, 2019), the choreographer, together with the creative team, reflects on what activism can mean today, engaging with positivity and empowerment in saying ‘yes’ to ourselves and to our needs. On stage, three performers from Cyprus, Greece, and the Netherlands use physicality and linguistic forms to share personal experiences that have shaped them as individuals, opening a space to reflect on social norms, queer subjectivities and normative pressures. The work is part of the choreographer’s ongoing research to address social justice issues. Envisioning performance as the beginning of a dialogue with the audience, she explores various performative ways of engaging with body politics.
