Fatou Cissé – Performance D

Senegal 2019 / Dance / 50 min

What happens when two bodies are forced to share the same space? Choreographer and dancer Fatou Cissé explores how people relate to one another on shared and sometimes contested ground. In Performance D, two bodies meet in a physical dialogue where attraction and resistance, vulnerability and power are constantly shifting.

On stage, the space between the dancers becomes a site of tension and negotiation. Who takes up space? Who sets the rules? Where does connection emerge?

Through her expressive physical language, Cissé reveals how living together requires constant negotiation, friction and surrender. Performance D is both confrontational and vulnerable: a performance about the complex dynamics of coexistence.

Bahghi – Coming Home

The Netherlands, Eritrea 2026 / Music / 2 x 20 minutes

A performance full of improvisation, blending jazz, neo-soul and R&B. With her warm, clear voice, Bahghi weaves personal stories, audience interaction and her distinctive sense of humour into her performance. Her original songs are inspired by her Eritrean heritage and her love of jazz.
