Style for the future

“A fashion concert which breaks in upon the audience like a natural force,” the Westdeutsche Zeitung wrote about Chombotrope, a co-operation of Kenyan Jitta Collective and Cologne choreographer Stephanie Thiersch. This African-European team asks itself: “What is the outfit of the future?” In a playful, subversive way our perspective changes in Chombotrope, that unites voguing, dance, rap, drums and turntables. Tradition and annexed cultural artefacts and symbols are intertwined to create new narratives that lead to a fascinating, inspiring mix of futuristic identities.
