Rwanda born Dorothée Munyaneza, currently based in France, is an artist whose works examine the scars of history. Following her powerful Samedi Détente (Under the Radar 2016), which evoked Munyaneza’s personal memories and the generational wound of the Rwandan genocide, Unwanted examines rape as a weapon in warzones. Performed alongside the ethereal melodies of experimental musician Holland Andrews, Unwanted embodies and confronts the unspeakable stories of women and children survivors through a potent dialogue between movement and text.

Unwanted was developed, in part, during a BAC Artist Residency.

Dorothée Munyaneza is supported by FACE Contemporary Theater, a program developed by FACE Foundation and the Cultural Services of the French Embassy in the United States with lead funding from Florence Gould Foundation, Institut français, and the French Ministry of Culture and Communication.

Lead support of dance programming at BAC is provided by the Rudolf Nureyev Endowment. Major support for dance programming and activities provided by the Mertz Gilmore Foundation, Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, and Harkness Foundation for Dance.
