Witch Hunting

  • Dance

In “Witch Hunting”, Anne Nguyen explores power, exclusion and social blame together with six dancers. Krumping, hip-hop and urban and traditional African dances merge into a powerful dialogue about solidarity, community and human connections.

“Witch Hunting” explores the human being’s desire for empire and its capacity for self-sacrifice. Six dancers share the empty stage, using their movements to reveal how they perceive and understand the world – and their own bodies. The performance poses fundamental questions: What is cultural identity? What does community mean? And what connects people within society? It also explores how people are made into targets for blame and thus unjustly denounced. “Witch Hunting” encourages us to reflect on fairness, solidarity and the concept of the ‘common good’.
The original music, composed by Pierre Demange and Grégoire Letouvet based on percussion and prepared piano, explores the rhythms and melodies that make up a community
