Activist Choreographies of Care: Protest Performance
Meeting point: Escalator in front of nGbK
As part of Va-Bene Elikem Fiatsi’s (crazinisT artisT) Good Friday performance series, „The Glory Table of Death“ confronts the oppressive systems of church and state in the face of fast rising fascism. The series highlights the struggles and resilience of Black and queer lives and other marginalized individuals. Through living sculptural installations of her black queer body, Va-Bene juxtaposes the crucifixion and resurrection with the ongoing struggles of marginalized communities. „The Glory Table of Death“ reclaims the Passion narrative on Good Friday, mourning and honoring lives lost and voices silenced while proclaiming hope and defiance in the face of oppression. This performance piece transforms the traditional Good Friday narrative into a powerful call to action, demanding justice, equality, and love for all.
