Panaibra Gabriel Canda
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. Special thanks to: Jesse Manno, Dan Minzer, Leah Wilks, Cynthia Oliver, Elsa Mulungo, Timoteo Canda.

Travelling to HAU2 via U Hallesches Tor:
If you are coming from Hallesches Tor underground station, you will have to use an alternative footpath from Wilhelmstraße / Hallesches Ufer junction, which is separated from the carriageway by a construction fence – the actual footpath is currently closed. Please note: the alternative route is also used by cyclists. Pedestrians should keep to the right. We therefore currently recommend that visually impaired or blind visitors come to the HAU with an accompanying person.
Arrival HAU2 via U Möckernbrücke:
When you leave Möckernbrücke underground station, please stay on the footpath on the canal side until you reach Hallesches Ufer / Großbeerenstraße junction – the opposite side is currently closed due to construction work.
