The major international work Fampitaha, fampita, fampitàna is landing in The Hague! In Malagasy, the three words mean comparison, transfer and rivalry. These notions come together in a dance performance full of theatre and live music, in which four bodies search for a new form of otherness. They challenge each other, choose each other, and shake off the countless layers of violence that shape them, breaking free from stigma and narrative.
As the second chapter of a diptych that began with her radio creation Rouge Cratère, the acclaimed choreographer and performer Soa Ratsifandrihana explores how bodies and history are connected, and where they differ. Together with guitarist Joël Rabesolo and performers Audrey Merilus and Stanley Ollivier, she investigates how bodies break their silence and use language as an instrument.
In an accessible and incisive way, Fampitaha, fampita, fampitàna brings the children of the diaspora back into conversation with their place of origin. A multi-voiced story in which the shattering of these experiences is as vivid as their appropriation.
This performance is co-presented by Holland Dance Festival. Cadance Festival and Holland Dance Festival work together from the shared conviction that the most inspiring ideas arise through exchange. Together, we want to enrich the Dutch and international dance scene and advance international collaboration.
