Boma (Mkutano) - co-production ID, Dansgroep A'dam, dance company Sarakasi from Nairobi, Kenia & ITS
Choreography: Corneliu Ganea. 6 Kenian dancers, 2 dancers from the ID and 2 dancers from Dansgroep Amsterdam. Boma is Swahili for enclosed homestead; many different Bomas represent Kenya’s major ethnic groups and refers to the open minded approach of this culturally rich and exciting production. Corneliu Ganea examines the origin of Kenian dance, how Kenian dancers react to our academic way of modern dance and what our western dancers could integrate in their performances. Meeting each other’s culture and change are in the focus of attention. In short: A battle of cultures with mutual respect and understanding.
