#BlackLivesMatter Black is a choreographic reckoning with the violence and struggle that shape Black lives in today’s society. Through references to Black Lives Matter and the murder of George Floyd, Oulouy questions the place of the Black body in the Western world. The work examines how the Black body is perceived, defined, and challenged — how it is filled with stereotypes, desire, and fear. A body that carries both history and the present, one that is both oppressed and celebrated, and that provokes reactions simply by existing. The story is told without words, but with a clear language: dance. Through street dance styles from the African continent and its diaspora in the USA — such as Coupé-Décalé, Ndombolo, Afrohouse, and Krump — a visual manifesto emerges, moving between trauma, pride, and political will. Black is as much a protest as it is a tribute — a homage to the movement, to survival, and to the strength of refusing to conform.
