Bikutsi 3000

Beginning with the division of the African continent by the colonial powers in 1884/85, the piece unfolds a narrative that expands into to the year 2050, and celebrates dance as an act of resistance. Based on the tradition of Bikutsi, a traditional Cameroonian music and dance form, it creates an energetic and dense show – a feminist manifesto in which women are the driving force of social and global change. BIKUTSI 3000 is a powerful reflection on one’s own identity, patriarchal power structures and productive ways to free oneself from perpetuating colonial structures.
