Fear, reclaiming space, and mourning can be cyclical patterns of having to prove one’s humanity to a world that believes one is less than equal. In this dance film, Three Stages of Having to Prove Your Humanity, the stages of proving oneself are revealed, unveiling themselves like abstract chapters. Stage one is likened to being hunted¬ –defenseless and having to constantly prove your innocence. This stage is often riddled with signs and mechanisms to offer warning and caution like a safety vest of code-switching. Stage two, is a reclaiming of space and time, delving deep into the notion of “this is me, take it or leave it.” Here, home, safety, and expression are cultivated. Stage three is the stage of mourning that cannot be escaped if one has found themselves in this cycle to begin with.
