Djeity premieres their first body of work at Mutek titled “Things Are Not What They Seem” as a spectacle within SAT’s Dome that passes through traditions of negro spirituals, live vocals and instrumentation, audio reactive visuals by al11z and a first look at the expansive Djeity universe containing their past, present and future.
Batty Bwoy starts from a place of play and desire, entangled in violence and charming cruelty. Through a reappropriation of the Jamaican term “Batty Bwoy” (literally, butt boy), slang for a queer person, Harald Beharie’s work twists and turns the myths of the black queer body unfolding vulnerable possibilities in an interplay of consciousness and naivety.
