by Neopost Foofwa

Consider the body first and foremost as a sound-producing tool, movement as musicality and these DANSONgS as protest songs. Hope through rhythm. Songs and a film: Refuge.

Premiere

GLocal: DANSONgS / Dancewalk

In what way could a dance movement resemble a concert? Foofwa d'Imobilité's little pieces together form a novel recital which immediately melds movement, song and poetry into a dynamic that is as dazzling as a popular tune.

/Unitile

Eleven stateless artists and citizens of the 21st century seek the causes of their drifting. They discover the source of some current sorrows in the underlying thoughts and lost gestures of the 19th century’s final throes - and find a remedy: an unpredictable, regenerating dance without borders.
