As a child he remembers first being drawn to the beautiful game, not by the game itself, but rather the colourful jerseys which the players wore. Using his football-dance practice as a departure point, Ahilan Ratnamohan now delves into this mystical connection to the sport, a connection which he slowly distanced himself from as he began to play more seriously, cataloguing the developments of fashion in football over the last 30 years. He zooms in on fabric and particular manners of wearing clothes, ruminating on what their possible effects are on the movements in football, literally and figuratively.
Ahilan Ratnamohan is a performance-maker based in Antwerpen. He is inspired above all by sport and language-learning processes. His work straddles many different themes, aesthetics and contexts, from theatre to performance and choreography, international to hyper-local.
