Musseque
Before being a piece for four dancers, Musseque [Shantytown] is home, is encounter, is a way of being. It’s where they left a long time ago and where they return to in memory—and in body—through kuduro. The bodies are asked for rhythm, precision and resistance so that, in the turbulence of a war, a piece of freedom can be found. The four performers are now being asked to continue what has been experienced and felt. One revisits the outskirts of Luanda that are home, the speeches that are revolution, and the bodies that are resistance, in a breakneck rhythm of movements that display the resilience of those who keep going beyond the war. — Fábio (Krayze) Januário
