Nine dancers, three choreographers and a master builder: Amala Dianor’s new creation brings together a constellation of talents from Mali, Senegal and Burkina Faso. The goal? To celebrate the vitality of a hybrid African dance, decompartmentalised, in perpetual evolution, like the artistic bubbling that animates the whole continent.
City Horses is a city choreography with about twenty female dancers about power, existence and the female body in the public space, a gallop through cities, a living monument in constant motion, celebrating female courage and power of all ages.
Is this the future? What have we done? And where the hell are we going? With music by Rachmaninoff and Jamie xx, the rising star of the dance world presents a world premiere, brutal as well as beautiful.
The latest work by celebrated Northern Irish choreographer, Oona Doherty will premiere at this year's Tanz im August Festival.
