POETIK P

The POETiK P team creates a sensual performance – a dedication to their pulsating bodies, a celebration of poetic demands, indeed: a protest song for sexual self-determination! The pearl represents material, metaphor and motto: delicate and desirable like the clitoris, yet strong enough to weave itself into a resilient network. In this way, different perspectives are linked and form a self-determined language of sexualities. Through dance and spoken word, a space is created – the pluriverse of pussybilities – reminiscent of a feminist strip club and inviting the audience to become part of it. Initiated by Donya Speaks, POETiK P has been working and researching in various formats in Switzerland and Rwanda since 2022. The artists – Aline Amike, Soukey, Nina Balmer, Souzy Muisha, Natacha Muziramakenga, Julia Urech, Nina Jaun, Eulalie Déguénon and Donya Speaks – live and work between Bern, Zurich, Kigali and Goma. They question Euro-patriarchal narratives about their sexuality(ies) and seek to understand and transform them in a cultural-historical context. How can one find (or reinvent) one's own language? What does it take to be transnational and feminist?
