“Bruits Marrons” is a dance and music performance about resistance, community, and solidarity. Inspired by the music of composer Julius Eastman, six performers and a piano show how people can find strength through sound and togetherness.
Like many artists who were considered too radical for their time, the Black, gay composer, singer, and performer Julius Eastman died in poverty and obscurity in New York in 1990. Choreographer Calixto Neto fell in love with his music at first hearing. In his new work, he opens up a dialogue of amends to Eastman. “Bruits Marrons” takes one of Eastman’s pieces, “Evil N*”, as its starting point. Translating the idea of the Maroons – hidden settlements of escaped enslaved people since the 16th century onwards – six performers and a piano create a community that explores resistance and solidarity through music, sound and noise.
