Auro Orso

Auro Orso is a Berlin-based choreographer, performer, and activist studying at the Berlin University of the Arts who identifies as Trans and Two-Spirit.
His artistic research explores decolonizing practices in all aspects of life, as well as questioning the Western/colonial illusion of universality, binaries, and “the appropriate.” His work includes a spectrum of topics including Indigenous Futurism and imaginative gender-riots. Reclaiming, remembering, redoing, and relearning—as well as gentleness, humor, and centering care, intimacy, and pleasure as radical political postures—are omnipresent in his performances. His practice is informed by somatics, perreo, and drag king. He gives workshops and develops projects to empower Queer and BIPoC communities, to both enhance sensibilities and heal.
