ABOUT THE PRODUCTION
Until the Lion Tells the Story...
Choreographed & Performed by Lacina Coulibaly
A heartfelt tribute to the remarkable African scholars who have ignited a fire in Coulibaly. It is an attempt and desire of the Burkina Faso artist to envision an African Renaissance, a different Africa that is rooted in its own indigenous knowledge, drawing inspiration from its cultural diversity, from ancient Egypt to the Mali Empire. Until The Lion Tells the Story… is an invitation to embrace the wisdom and knowledge of Africa as an essential part of being in the world, and a reminder that the journey towards renaissance and transformation begins with building one’s inner pyramid.
Revolver
Choreographed & Performed by Kathy Westwater with Lance Gries
Revolver speaks to existential threat from super-catastrophes, bound by the subtext that dance itself causes pain.
