To my Ancestors - Trans-Formations in Space and Time
Solo performance, 2022
60 min
To my Ancestors – Trans-Formations in Space and Time is a performance for a non-binary person and a projector. The performance is searching for trans ancestry in Europe.
For a trans historiography is only beginning to emerge. It seems as if our history only begins with the Age of Enlightenment and its associated pathologization. But what
did our history look like before that time?
To my Ancestors wants to answer these questions. It does so from the perspective of a non-binary person. In this
performance the non-binary body of Dan Dansen serves as a surface to project video material which reflects Europes trans history: the witch hunts, gender variant concepts in
pagan cultures, queer flora and fauna.
To my Ancestors creates a collective ritual of gender euphoria in which a non-binary person evokes their trans ancestors.
