African contemporary dancers present ‘The March’

‘The March’, a contemporary dance piece that involves dancers from various African countries will be performed on Friday, February 26  at the Alliance Française in Accra. 

Choreographed by Felix Dompreh of Kuyum Arts Investigations, the piece interlaces viewpoints about history, commitment, pride and protests, which are presented through a variety of swift and subtle movements.

With experienced dancers including Hamadou Sanogo (Mali) Foli Adjo Delali (Togo), Mbali Nkosi (South Africa) Kossi Sebastien Aholou-Wokawui (Togo) alongside Felix Dompreh (Ghana), the piece is set to reveal the power and ability of the human body to tell stories.

Based on images by American artist Kenturah Davis, the production equally examines the creative community and how they could  help reconfigure history and  guide mankind through a period of social unrest.

Using the function of a flag as the point of departure, ‘The March’ employs the power of cultural symbols to project strength and solidarity through the expertise of five agile dancers.

Undeniably, in a world that's increasingly connected through digital platforms, the piece raises questions about how individuals choose their allegiances and how reputations are projected in the process.
