In 2015, an X‑ray reve­a­led that the famous Black Square by Malevich (1915) car­ried a racist inscrip­ti­on hid­den bene­ath lay­ers of paint. Not even abstract art appe­ars to be free of poli­tics. It is pre­ci­se­ly this ten­si­on that the young Belgian cho­re­o­grap­her Milø Slayers and the three black per­for­mers are con­cerned with in DEMONstratio. Light and dark­ness, rea­son and fee­ling, cer­tain­ty and uncer­tain­ty… Through the power of the voi­ce and of move­ment, this pie­ce sha­kes up bina­ry oppositions.
