In collaboration with the well-known singer Y’akoto, I composed the music for this great dance theatre piece by Helge Letonja. Bringing together dancers from Africa and Europe, the piece deals with West-African realities and gazes from there to Europe and back. It merges different perspectives and dance languages and combines dance, live vocals and live music mixing.
The piece was premiered at Africtions festival in Ludwigshafen, and has since been shown in Stadttheater Bremen, Le Theatre de Verdure Dakar Senegal, Hebelhalle Heidelberg and Staatstheater Kassel.
