Carte blanche Ana Pi

Thursday 23 June 2022 at 7 pm

Carte blanche entrusted to Ana Pi as part of the Paris cycle (Performances)

RAW ON = technologie ancestrale de résistance

 

« I used to say that dancing delays war. The Afro-diasporic dance ensemble is for me one of the rarest elements that still protect the ngunzu of the planet Earth, in other words: vitality. Among these dances that I study with care, some movements are essential, including the walk and its notion of dynamic balance. In Capoeira Angola, this walk is called ginga, in homage to a warrior queen who during her lifetime put the atrocity of the colonial project on hold. For the time of this evening Paris Performance I invite the Luso-Angolan producer Dj Firmeza, with the intensity of his post-kuduro music, his singular flow and his percussive mixing, to join me for a training session, of deployment. The turntables will provide the rhythm, a rereading of traditional sacred and popular dances, where it is always a question of dialogue between the basic steps and the drumming. Together we will celebrate the power of common ground, of raw materials, of ancestral gestures that do not suffer from programmed obsolescence », Ana Pi
