RMW(a) & RMW

New York in the 1990s. A city full of dynamic queer movements like Act Up, Lesbian Avengers and Queer Nation. George Bush, sr. was in office as president of the United States. Demonstrations were moving through the streets of the Big Apple. Inspired by this lively atmosphere, the two choreographers DD Dorvillier and Jennifer Monson showed their duet “RMW” in a series of performances called “Sexual I.D.”. Ten years later, the two artists adapted the wild piece full of glam and toughness, presenting it together with the original as “RMW(a) & RMW” in 2004. Now, under the Obama administration, in times of digital communication and the omnipresence of the Internet, Dorvillier and Monson get new, exciting aspects out of this political work.
