The unforgettable Festival of Lies in Global DanceFest Fall 2007, performed to live music by local favorites Wagogo, set the stage for another provocative piece by Linyekula’s Studios Kabako. In more more more...future three dancers twist and rage to the seething poems of Antoine Vumilia Muhindo and the driving rhythms of Congolese pop and Sex Machine funk star Flamme Kapaya with his five-member on-stage band in a fierce celebration of hope in the face of despair.
Linyekula is a virtuosic dancer whose elongated musculature accentuates the sinuous isolation of shoulders and neck, and a taut inner pulsing of muscles. His movement style unleashes memories of butoh, break dance, and Forsythe-inspired improvisation… Linyekula has said: “Perhaps my only true country is my body.” –Mark Franko and Juliet Neidish
Choreography by Faustin Linyekula; Danced by Faustin Linyekula, Papy Ebotani and Dinozord; Music Performance directed by Flamme Kapaya; Costumes by Xuly Bët
