Using dance, text and striking visuals, marikiscrycrycry’s He
Underscored by a brooding hip-hop soundscape, He’s Dead is a complex and powerful endeavour to “shed tears for the things that we cannot unearth” in an attempt to find clarity in what can never truly be answered.
Made in three acts, this compelling work looks at the violence of dehumanisation – highlighting the injustice that if a figure is flawed in any way by their actions, their sadness cannot be heard or acknowledged; heightened endlessly if you are Black.
He’s Dead is a struggle for, and expression of, what it means to be human – yet to be fighting for your humanity constantly.
