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.
