— Siobhan Burke - New York Times“Summons past friendships and political struggles, reckoning with what it means to seek beauty, to write or sing or dance, when surrounded by violence and loss.”
Created by the award-winning Congolese choreographer Faustin Linyekula, an artist with a “live-wire intensity” (New York Times), this lyrical dance/theatre/operatic hybrid meditates on creating a new story of life from dreams and the wreckage wrought by decades of war, trauma and poverty in the former Zaire. About as visceral an 80 minutes in the theatre as you are likely to get, escape your comfort zone and experience what art can bring: truth, understanding, change.
