Batty Bwoy is a solo that doesn\u2019t start with a question or critique, but from a place of play and desire, entangled in violence and charming cruelty. Through a reappropriation of the Jamaican term \u201cBatty Bwoy\u201d (literally, butt boy), a queer slur, Beharie conjures a hybrid creature on the threshold of vulnerability, liberation and monstrous joy. The piece scrutinizes the absurdity of queer monstrosity by letting bodies and languages swallow and regurgitate the corporal fictions projected onto them. Twisting myths and sedimented narratives of the Black queer body, Batty Bwoy<\/em> unfolds in a droning prog-rock odyssey inspired by feelings, fantasies, and stereotypes, giallo cinema, homophobic dancehall lyrics, and the resilience of \u201cgully queens\u201d and queer voices from Norway and Jamaica. A work that doesn\u2019t explain \u2013 but transforms, haunts and empowers.<\/p>\n

Harald Beharie (he\/they) is a Norwegian-Jamaican choreographer and performer based in Oslo. Their work explores queer embodiment through disorientation, sincerity and playful resistance. With a focus on local collaboration and affective intensity, Beharie creates performances that move between collapse and exuberance. Batty Bwoy<\/em> received the 2023 Hedda Award for Best Dance Production.<\/p>\n
