“Nobody knew who or what you were when
you had a suit on.” - Saidiya Hartman
A performance of Black gender play, with
suits and the performer’s body as its primary materials, In flux is an
expression of a desire to become uncapturable. This desire has much to do with
questions about gaze and how some ways of looking can be an attempt at
restricting and classifying ever-evolving bodies. Much of the movement, sound,
and imagery tries to touch various Black contexts, with South African
references, especially those originating during the latter part of the 20th
century, in the country and abroad in exile, having a significant influence.
