Description
Awarded the main Puma Creative Prize and the first prize in the Group Pieces category at danse l'Afrique danse in Bamako, 2010, the collaborative performance Orobroy, Stop! was conceptualised under the creative direction of internationally esteemed Mozambican choreographer, Horácio Macuácua.
An inventive intercultural reconstruction of Flamenco; deep emotions, notions of identity, gender and conflicting experiences explored in a visceral manner through both body and sound in this provocative work.
The piece has traveled throughout Africa (Benin, Burkina Faso, Chad, Congo, Niger, Nigeria and Togo) and Europe (Netherlands, France, and Belgium); it will also be presented as part of the program Next Future in Lisbon, Portugal, later this year. Orobroy, Stop! at Infecting the City 2013 is presented with support from Pro Helvetia through the regional programme with the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) and GIPCA.
