Cherish Menzo
Netherlands | Dance Performance
Jezebel
The performance was inspired by «Video Vixens», scantily clad Black women who appeared in hip-hop videos on MTV back in the late 1990s. Dutch choreographer and dancer Cherish Menzo has transformed the often clichéd depictions into her material. In her multi-award-winning piece, the «Video Vixens» return to the stage – as Jezebel. Although she now refuses to be defined by others, looking for ways to craft her own image!
