“Combat des lianes” means “Battle of the Lianas”. Lianas are tropical plants that climb up trees in pursuit of light. They wind their way criss-cross through the rainforest. Nothing can stop them. For his choreography, Zora Snake drew inspiration from the mighty lianas of Cameroon\u2019s forests. Just as the lianas grow and wind their way through the forest, this dance piece grows and winds its way across the stage. It champions a mindful approach to our shared natural heritage, fighting against the injustices of the current capitalist world order, against the exploitation of nature and the destruction of habitats.<\/p>\n

Music and movement merge into a powerful expression against oppression and destruction \u2013 loud and unstoppable. The dancers\u2019 bodies become a voice for solidarity and renewal. Movements drawn from hip-hop, contemporary dance and traditional Cameroonian dances come together to form a collective ritual. An evening full of power and poetry that transforms the stage into a place of encounter. The Cameroonian choreographer and dancer returns to Berlin following his celebrated dance solo \u201cOp\u00e9ra du villageois\u201d at Transkontinentale 2024.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n
