A poem inspired by the Matthieu Nieto’s contemporary choreographic project “I Came Here to Talk” performed at Bakelit Multi Art Center, Budapest, 2018… In his project the client highlighted identity politics and representations of the body through his own personal journey in relation to whiteness, masculinity and (hetero)normativity.

Poem was published at Bakelit Multi Art Center’s social media channels as post-event reflections for company’s content marketing

the Mule
is in self-defiance
roaming around the enclosure,
not carrying burdens
of compliance,
wearing a free and light posture

stubbornly walking
his own way –
feeling himself
like a Donkey.
frivolously running
and jumping high –
feeling himself
like a Horse

he’s jumping as high as the height of the fence, yet, he wouldn’t surpass –
consuming the grass
other mules on the lawn
exhibit the pride in the shows of their own

consumed by themselves,
they feel exceptional ones –
leaving unturned all the stones.
solely constructed
by mistakes of the past –
nothing else that they do want to know

the External scenery the Mule disregards,
and the stories
imposed withal –
in his movements reveals what the Internal dictates,
telling the story
of his Own
