Pride & Prejudice is a 45mn performance installation -- with a fusion of spoken words with physical theatre, live music and multimedia -- commissionned by Museum of London Docklands, as part of their Black History Month. Presented in early November , the performance responded to the Museum's permanent exhibition London Sugar & Slavery, by exploring the poetry of Leopold Sedar Senghor and Léon G. Damas.
Over two weeks in October series of workshop-rehearsals with performance poet Ursula Troche, violonist/composer Rupert Guenther, several physical performers and musicians to explore Damas's vision of Négritude. During that period of an organic creative process, we researched through debates and movement improvisation exercises on the contemporary definition of identity compared to what it meant to Damas and how communicating simultaneously with movement and the spoken word these past and present visions. We experimented with the repetition and re-structure of lines or words, taken from different Damas's poems to create movement phrases and new dialogues between the performers. The short film, conceived by Video Artist David Morley, was responding to Senghor's poetry by connecting London's multicultural environment with still visual archives of French African colonies in the 20′s, 30′s and early 40′s.
