Kieron Jina
I Release You
Johannesburg, Barcelona, Berlin
Kieron Jina premieres his latest piece «I Release You» in Zurich. The artistic focus of this «professional troublemaker» moves between post-colonial historiography and queer storytelling – always with an activist aspect and in search of empathy and shared experiences. Jina combines costumes and practices with Afro-futurist and cultural clichés to constantly create new perspectives. His interdisciplinary work includes research, dance, performance and drag. Jina deliberately involves the audience in his pieces as he energetically roams through culture and history. (zts)
