Afro-feminist performance PAPAYA is having a world-premiere at Kulturfabrik. Transmuting physical, disciplinary, and ideological boundaries PAPAYA mixes dance, text, sound, installation, textile, and performance art.  Artists Jennifer Lopes Santos, Eric G. Foy, and melissandre varin invite us to think through the body by questioning imagined or real identities. Dissecting their relationships to tenderness, alienation, and intimacy, PAPAYA offers an immersive experience into afro-diasporic troubled waters.

The members of 'PAPAYA', the collective of the same name, use personal experiences as tools to convey narratives not only about erasure and masking, but also about liberation and creative emancipation processes.

How to create, nurture, heal and share conditions for (self-)love beyond discrimination and power imbalances? We are invited to reconsider what art can release, repair and transform.

About the project: 

The Afro-feminist collective PAPAYA is based between Luxembourg, Belgium, and the UK. After a first residency, workshop, and work-in-progress "(Black) liberation?" in February 2022 at Warwick Arts Centre (UK); a residency, a 'cercle de parole' for and by racialised beings, a conference on Black and POC queer trans artists' mental health followed by a work-in-progress sharing last March at Trois C-L (Luxembourg); PAPAYA settles down in Esch for a last residency before a premiere on the 12th of May 2023 at Kulturfabrik.
