JEZEBEL is a dance production inspired by the Video Vixens: provocative female models who appeared in hip-hop videos on MTV in the late 1990s. The Vixens danced scantily clad in music dominated by men. However their influence was great: it was often the Vixens who determined the aesthetic of the videos and the popularity of the artist. They were hypersensual, strong and independent.

READ THE INTERVIEW WITH SUBBACULTCHA
“The composer Michael Nunes has created a brilliant soundscape, threatening and impressive. And Menzo’s entire performance is exactly that: on the border between threat and seduction, alienation and seductiveness.”
Theaterkrant

The dancer Cherish Menzo – who performed alongside Natalia Pieczuro and Giada Castioni in Voetvolk’s The Sea Within – refuses to be defined by others in JEZEBEL. She navigates the landscape of hip-hop culture, searching for ways to claim her image for herself. Can Jezebel deconstruct the controversial stereotype associated with the black “hip-hop honey”?

The jury’s of the BNG Bank Theaterprijs 2020 report says: “In JEZEBEL, Cherish Menzo moves somewhere between dance and performance. With minimal means, she is able to powerfully depict the iconography of this oversexualised woman. [...] In Jezebel, Menzo finds an original way to put the icon of the black woman in hip-hop culture into a new perspective.”
