What does it mean to be an inheritor of colonial history?

INTO THE DARK takes as its starting point a scene from H.C. Andersen’s play The Mulatto (1840) in which one protagonist, Paléme, attempts to convince his acquaintance Horatio to participate in an imminent revolt against the plantocracy of colonial Martinique. Tensions rise as the two men negotiate their privileges within the colonial system and stakes in overturning it.
Through a poetic, fragmented series of scenes and soundscapes, INTO THE DARK unfolds an expansive legacy of Black anti-colonial resistance. Here we encounter, along with H.C. Andersen’s characters, labor revolt leader Queen Mary, Afrofuturist pioneer Sun Ra, renowned writer James Baldwin, founders of the Black Lives Matter movement among many others
INTO THE DARK is a performance in 5 tableaux /scenes with active stage shift. It's a piece that aims to decolonize the space in a poetic fragmented process, to focus heavily on our cultural heritage, to question the national self-understanding, and to interact with and highlight the deep cultural relations Denmark has with the African and American continents. It is a performance that corresponds with and involves people from the African Diaspora but nevertheless is made for a broader audience.
