What is it that makes the beginning so intoxicating? In her gripping solo "Rinse", multidisciplinary artist and choreographer Amrita Hepi, who is rooted in the indigenous Bundjalung and Ngāpuhi territories (Australia and Aotearoa / New Zealand), explores this question in a captivating way. Between the Big Bang and the impending end of the world, she travels through personal, cultural and colonial narratives about dance, the body and feminism - and deconstructs the myth of new beginnings in the process. Together with the British author Mish Grigor, "Rinse" creates a fast-paced structure of movement, text and repetition that shows: Nothing ever really begins anew - our stories, bodies and memories are steeped in the past. With depth and humor, Hepi plays with the thrill of the beginning - first love, the first step, the first lines of a novel. And at the same time poses the question: What does it take for a future that does not ignore marginalized, repressed - indigenous - knowledge, but takes it seriously? "Rinse" moves between desire, intoxication, popular culture and colonial history and develops its own unique pull. A piece about beginnings, endings - and the in-between in which we live - by one of the most remarkable choreographers of our time.
