bugi #15: bugi special: Let me live and let me love (med Brother Portrait)

It’s a mantra, a prayer and a battle cry too. For oppressed bodies in a world designed to kill us, shooting an arrow and moving towards levity and joy is not only an act of resilience – it’s also about resourcefulness. “We always knew”, the poet and rhymer Brother Portrait states as he reflects on his work, his sounds and his movements through, with and back and forth in time. It seems as if we with age come to discover what’s always been there. This episode is about living, loving, landing and learning from listening. About storytelling and climbing trees, taking leaps; flying. Metaphorically and literally: “Jumping is more than that moment of leaping, it’s also about feeling the force that comes from your feet”. But it’s not only about those brief moments of suspension and feeling weightless in the air. No, like cats and squirrels we too must find lightness in landing. The combination of power and grace.
