About This Event
Toi, moi, Tituba… presents work at BAM that places movement in direct conversation with Caribbean-derived club forms such as dancehall and riddim. The group draws from performance practices where rhythm and bodily articulation carry narrative weight, using repetition, percussive footwork and tightly framed gestures to build scenes through physical phrasing rather than spoken text.
About Toi, moi, Tituba…
At BAM in Brooklyn, *Toi, moi, Tituba…* arrives as a dance work that draws on the figure of Tituba, the often-marginalized Caribbean woman entangled in the Salem witch trials. The performance moves between personal address and historical record, treating the stage as a site where memory is argued over rather than simply displayed. In New York, where debates about archives, authorship, and whose stories circulate are ongoing, the piece lands with local relevance. Its clearest strength is its refusal to tidy the past into a single moral.
