Organized with the support and hospitality of Institut del Teatre, November 18th at 7.00 PM the artist Thomias Radin, represented by Esther Schipper, (Berlin, Paris, Seoul) will present The Myth of Trinity II.

The story of The Myth of Trinity II began nine years ago with his collaborators from day one: Bidiamambu, Delawhere, and Thénard. The performance is based on Radin’s Guadeloupean heritage, aiming to celebrate and create cultural bridges through his research on movement and his practice in painting, dance, and sculpture.

Born and raised on the Caribbean island of Guadeloupe and in France, Thomias Radin obtained his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Fine Arts from the University of Rennes 2, France, in 2015 and 2018, respectively. He currently lives and works in Berlin. His practice, regardless of the medium, is deeply rooted in his experience in dance and his childhood between the Caribbean and France. In his work—whether in painting, sculpture, performance, or film—black subjects act as repositories of memory and movement. This movement conveys stories of deep spirituality, rooted in ancestral wisdom, but constantly evolving and vibrant. Radin’s emphasis on movement reflects his focus on the fluidity of meaning and the presence of the intangible throughout his artistic practice. His major solo exhibitions to date include Rhizome: Time of Revelation, Kunstverein Göttingen (2024), POLYCHROME – The Myth of Karukera & Cibuqueira, Galerie Wedding, Berlin (2023), and The Myth of Inner Landscapes, SAVVY Contemporary, Berlin (2019).
