"PERIPHERIES | Toi, Moi, Tituba... | 1 Mar, 19:30 | Auditorium of the Rectory of NOVA University Lisbon, Campolide
The 13th edition of PERIFERIAS - International Festival of Performing Arts, promoted by Chão de Oliva, opens with a show by the renowned choreographer Dorothée Munyaneza, from the Compagnie Kadidi (France).
A performance that features the artist's participation in dialogue with music and sounds created for the show by the musician Khyam Allami, creating a space in which memory can resonate. She dances and sings in the name of all those whose existence was denied by the colonial system. The work celebrates unheard and untold stories and lives, of the Guyanese great-grandmother of Elsa Dorlin, or Tituba, a Caribbean woman persecuted in the Salem witch trials.
