Potsdamer Tanztage 2026 – Autothérapie

In the organizer's words:

Mackenzy Bergile is an interdisciplinary Franco-Haitian artist who is also a choreographer, musician, poet and researcher. In Autothérapie, he embarks on a physical search for traces between memory and the present. In fragmentary "sessions", an intense dialog with history and identity unfolds: what is stored in the body begins to speak.

Based on Haitian spiralism - a poetic and political philosophy that understands history as cyclical and polyphonic - Mackenzy Bergile creates a geography of memories, traumas and cultural references that extend across three continents: from the violent abduction of around 12 million Africans to the Haitian Revolution and Jim Crow laws in the USA to present-day Europe. The body becomes an archive - and the starting point for a careful repositioning.

With French/English texts and English surtitles.
