Les Brigittines

In Maryse Condé’s novel, Tituba is a black woman accused of witchcraft who becomes the mouthpiece for those silenced by force and erased by history. Performing live with Khyam Allami, Dorothée Munyaneza draws her inspiration from this story and uses her body to breathe new life into the victims of oppression in a sort of ‘collective solo’.

Her precise, mesmerising, magnetic presence and her clear, husky singing vibrate through the space. With complete self-control, the dancer-choreographer builds up unstoppable tension, crossing a hybrid space – African, American, European, Caribbean – a place of traces, dreams, and violence. The air surrounding her becomes singularly consistent.
