Rachael Young’s badass band of super-humans embrace Afrofuturism and the cult of Grace Jones in this show, presented as part of Trinity’s IGNiTE programme.
“1981: Grace Jones releases her landmark album Nightclubbing; her body is brown and soft.
“2015: Three women are refused entry into a London nightclub; their bodies are brown and soft.
“Grace Jones: a dark-skinned, androgynous Jamaican woman, transcending societal norms to become an international superstar.
“Then later, three young black women, discriminated against and excluded, their bodies branded ‘undesirable’.
“WE are those women, we zoom through galaxies and solar systems, traveling through time, preparing for our moment to land…IT’S NOW!
“Women to the front, LGBTQIA++ to the front, people of colour to the front!!!”
