Sinopse
In the 'new' ZA, women are assuming sovereignty over their own life and thus steadily prevailing against the widespread gender-based violence in the country. They are reviving the pacifist, non-hetero-normative, 'matriarchal' society of the pre-colonial era. In doing so, they are creating a subtle decolonization of art, history and society. A dancer-choreographer pushes boundaries of her art and leads us through her scarlet universe into the story of the body of black women : enslaved, abused, burnt, and now born again by their own strength. Taking the impulse of the montage from the echo of their desires, this essay portrays contemporary goddesses.
