Le Cargo, 2011
Performance, 55 minutes
overview
In this self-choreographed solo performance, Linyekula moves, narrates and sings to original music composed by Obilo drummers and guitarist Flamme Kapaya. He is on a journey toward himself, searching for what ceases to exist – to dance and to speak of history through the body, while leaving words behind. With Le Cargo, Linyekula questions what it means to dance in the face of his country’s severe austerity and whether it makes a difference to do so. Le Cargo will be performed 6 and 7 March at the Sharjah Institute for Theatrical Arts.
This project was part of Sharjah Biennial 12
