“lions… is a dance about loss, grief, displacement, trauma and a confrontation with those African brands that we have become complicit in selling, consuming and perpetuating.” – Nora Chipaumire
lions will roar, swans will fly, angels will wrestle heaven, rains will break: gukurahundi is a multimedia performance by contemporary/African solo dance artist Nora Chipaumire in collaboration with the revolutionary musical legend Thomas Mapfumo performing live with his band The Blacks Unlimited. Incorporating video animation, lions… explores the migrant experience within and outside of Africa and examines how Africa is portrayed to a western, globalized world. This collaboration is a representation of a collective self, a depiction of the Zimbabwean immigrant body, and explores what it means to be an African in the Diaspora.
