Drawing from their observation of workers, farmers, and garbage collectors, dancers and choreographers Tidiani N’Diaye and Adonis Nebié seek to appropriate these gestures repeated every day with precision and meticulousness. Against a backdrop of experimental music composed by Clara De Asis, their performance evokes the harshness of work and the alienation it causes at the same time as it explores the intoxication of repetition and the joy of being together.
En el trabajo, “baara”, en lengua bambara, hay una dualidad. Es tan duro como necesario, tan esclavizante como liberador. Esta creación coreográfica examina esta dualidad.
