Internal Passage Báncla Menswear x Ohnody

Internal Passage is a 15-minute conceptual performance exploring the “rites of passage” associated with modern male adulthood. The piece initiates a critical dialogue with patriarchal notions of masculinity, in which male identity is often predicated on the absence of pain. The performance is closely interwoven with the Bancla Menswear collection, following the designer’s vision of visually representing subtle communication within groups. The uniqueness of the project lies in the artistic collaboration of two creators who had not previously met. One source of inspiration was a movement-based film by British choreographer Wayne McGregor, exploring the intersection of body, art, philosophy, and science. The design of the collection and the choreography of the performance were shaped by this connection. The garments allow freedom of movement, expression, and improvisation, contributing to a redefinition of identity.
