Residu(e), what we leave behind

As part of the European project Performing Gender, choreographer Nikita Maheshwary started one-on-one walks with 15 women from different neighbourhoods of Tilburg in January ’22. Under the name ‘37.5 community Tilburg’, this developed over the months from a community of 19 women to the current core of 9 women.
The women, coming from different walks of life, upbringings, generations, and cultures, were first concerned with the question “Where do we come from?” while reflecting together on overarching themes of care, womanhood, freedom & limitations, and what it means to be a community. In the second phase of the project, the urgency slowly began to shift to “Where are we (collectively) going” and “What do we want to leave behind”.
The women show the result in the production Residu(e), what we leave behind; a poetic dream about a shared and multicolored future. The colorful collection of stories is interwoven with scenes of small triumphant actions. A mix of movement, spoken word and multimedia.
