«PERSPECTIVES» is an artistic exploration of individual and collective experiences of racism in the form of microaggressions.

Sometimes they come out of nowhere, sometimes they are predictable. Some bounce off, others hit you. They are looks, gestures and statements in everyday life that are offensive and abusive. And then you evade or ignore, ignore, get angry, let it pass, stand up to it. But you can't escape it completely. They hurt, disturb and make you angry. They get in the way, squeeze in, chafe, burst. And leave their mark.

The different perspectives on the topic are expressed relentlessly and powerfully through hip-hop and contemporary dance, dialogue-like scenes, spoken word and original beats, creating space for confrontation, debate and vulnerability.
