Time and Spaces: The Marrabenta Solos

Dance

60 min

Over the last ten years, Mozambique has experienced massive social and political tensions. In the middle of this identity crisis, the choreographer Panaibra Canda researches a post-colonial body, which has assimilated the historical ideas of nationalism, modernity and socialism, but also a deep belief in the freedom of artistic expression. His solo is accompanied by the Marrabenta guitarist Jorge Domingos.

Production: CulturArte (Maputo). Co-production: Sylt Quelle Cultural Award for Southern Africa 2009 and Goethe-Institute Johannesburg. Supported by Kunstenfestivaldesarts, Bates Festival, Panorama Festival, VSArtsNM, Goethe-Institute.
